Hydraulic Circuit Simulator
How does the hydraulic circuit simulator work?
Drag components onto the canvas, join the ports with wires, then press Run. Shift the valve, watch the cylinder move, and see pressure, flow, power and warnings update live. Start from an example if you like.
Circuit tools
Test traces (last 20 s)
Pressure (bar)
Cylinder position (mm)
Motor speed (rpm)
Checks & warnings
Model: lumped-parameter, incompressible-orifice flow with oil compressibility, spool dynamics, cylinder/motor inertia and friction. Hoses are treated as lossless. Results are indicative — not a substitute for component datasheets or a design review.

Questions about the simulator
What does the circuit simulator show?
It shows estimated pressure, flow, power and cylinder motion for the circuit you build, and warns you about problems it finds.
Can I get a quote from my circuit?
Yes. The simulator writes a parts list for your circuit, and the Request a quote button sends it to HLA.
