Pneumatic piston cylinder design

[Naveed Raza]

Freinds,
I have to design and simmulate a pneumatic piston cylinder, and want to calculate force profile of piston with time. please help me in this regard, also please tell me any simmulation software simmulating pneumatic piston cylinder.

The force will be a function of the fluid pressure (air in this case). The pressure will change as the piston strokes (in or out). Use a polytropic process to model the gas pressure.

yes ofcourse force will be a function of the fluid pressure. but i have to developed differential equations with time as a dependent variable. please help me in this regard.
