Abstract
This paper deals with enhancement of OHC-Sim which is a simulation package for design of an oil-hydraulic circuit and analysis of its dynamic characteristics. In order to make the design and improvement processes of an oil-hydraulic circuit more effective and systematic, OHC-Sim was developed with the support of JHPS (the Japan Hydraulics and Pneumatics Society) and has been enhanced in the research committee of JHPS. OHC-Sim has a user friendly graphical user interface in Windows 95® environment, and provides easy design and improvement of an oil-hydraulic circuit referring to the simulated results on personal computer. In this paper, the structure of oil-hydraulic component icon and how to connect component icons in OHC-Sim are emphasized, which have been enhanced in order to make OHC-Sim more useful. In addition, through an example, main functions of OHC-Sim are shown.
