Mechanical Energy to Hydraulic Energy

Hello,

Is there a Block within Simulink that allows for rotational mechanical energy to be converted into hydraulic energy? I know that the Rotary Actuator can be used to directly convert hydraulic energy into mechanical, but I can't find how to convert it the other way.

Thank You.

Assuming that you are referring to a block such as Single-Acting Rotary Actuator (IL) within the Simscape technology, the conversion of energy is bi-directional. The same block can be used for both conversions.

Simscape connections differ from signals used in Simulink. For more information, please see an overview of Modeling Physical Networks in Simscape here:
