- Open the cylinder lift example. CY1 is a 63/36 mm cylinder with 400 mm stroke, initially extended 40 mm.
- Run simulation. Choose Position and CY1 in the scope; extension reaches 400 mm near 3 seconds.
- Choose Pressure and P1. Once the piston reaches its stop, the relief valve receives pump flow and pressure rises to about 121.6 bar.
- Use Manual valves above the drawing to select Extend, Neutral or Retract during playback. The position stays selected; replay retains the valve actions. Try the unloaded tandem-center example for a complete extend–hold–retract sequence. This loaded lift can predict cavitation on retraction and reject the change.
- Try Sizing → Cylinder. Compare ideal force and speed with the simulated load and viscous resistance.
The checklist records your learning progress. It is not an engineering acceptance test.
