Abstract :
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
