.Modeling and Simulation on Axial Piston Pump Based on Virtual Prototype TechnologyAbstract: A particular emphasis is placed on the virtual prototype technology (VPT) of axial piston pump. With this technology it is convenient and flexible to build a complicated 3D virtual based on real physical model. The actual kinematics pairs of the parts were added on the model. The fluid characters were calculated by hydraulic software. The shape of the parts, the flexible body of parts, etc. were impr
