This paper analyzes the simulation of a hydrostatic system using the Simhydraulics programme of the Matlab programming environment. The author intention is to underline the advantages of this programme offers in performing the functional tests of the complex hydraulic systems. The form of the characteristics resulting after the simulation indicates the precision of the model created and subsequently allows the choice of the optimum functional parameters. Using some specialized software, making models and simulations which can be realized using them, are necessary steps in the modern projecting of a hydrostatic system. The advantages in terms of time and costs offered by this method are also underlined here.
