A novel simulator of pneumatic networks

This paper presents a novel computer program for pneumatic network simulation. Simulator software is described on a general level. Then the theory for high precision analysis of the network is presented. It is used to describe the network behavior during one duty cycle in detail. Finally a set of characteristic curves of various network variables are presented to show it's performance. The simulator provides advance knowledge of the system behavior during the planning period. Also existing systems can be analyzed by the simulator for improvement.
