This paper present a practical method to estimate the dynamic characteristics of a flow divider valve. The continuity equations and the equation of motion for spool are analyzed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK software. To compare the results and to check the limitations of the MATLAB, the simultaneous system equations are also solved numerically. For simple input load conditions, there exist a good agreement between the results for MATLAB and numerical analysis. Therefore, the MATLAB can be used generally in designing and performance evaluation of the
hydraulic spool valve.
