In one embodiment, a hydraulic simulation model corresponding to a real-world hydraulic network is loaded in a hydraulic modeling and simulation application executing on a computer system. The pump includes a first tube clamping member, a first set of tube squeezing members, a second tube clamping member, a second set of tube squeezing members and a synchronizing arrangement for activating the members in a sequential order such that fluid in the tube is displaced in a downstream direction. The invention also relates to a corrosion protection layer for the hardened steel part and to the steel part itself. The outer strap has at least one fastener fixed to it. The system and method of the present invention provides extension of the user’s off-line experiences to an online environment, which may have application in electronic reading, writing, and shopping.
