hi, i want to simulate pneumatic circuits with simulink but i just found simscape. And in simscape there is a library ("Foundation") that contains pneumatic devices. but i'm unable to mount any circuit beacuse i couldn't find examples for mounting pneumatic circuits.

i have found three examples (ssc_pneumatic_actuator, ssc_pneumatic_motor,
ssc_pneumatic_motor_and_valve) but they not contain symbols from "Foundation" library like pistons.Pneumatic Actuation Circuit

so is there a manual or some examples for mounting pneumatic circuits with simscape?.

Yes, they do contain blocks from the foundation library. Those blocks are in
the masked subsystems in the model. It sound slike you ned to get up to
speed with Simulink first before attempting to use Simscape. Watch this
video:
http://www.mathworks.co.uk/demos/getting_started_with_simulink_demo_video.html

You can find more info on masked subsystems in the documentation:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/simulink/ug/f8-15210.html

The demo description also explains this:
"The Directional 5-way valve, Double-acting pneumatic actuator and Pipe
blocks are masked subsystems created from Foundation Library blocks.
Double-click on the blocks to view the subsystem parameters. Select the
block and type ctrl-U to view its construction from fundamental components."

HTH,

Arnaud
