Hi Sean,
I understand that you have a concern regarding the solution provided for this question in the "Simscape Onramp" course.
In the question, it is explicitly mentioned that the Pipe connected to the Rotational Mechanical Converter should be replaced with a Local Restriction (IL). However, upon reviewing your solution, it appears that the Pipe has not been removed but rather connected in series with the Local Restriction (IL).
I have verified the above question from the "Simscape Onramp" at my end and can confirm that the expected behavior is achieved when the Pipe is replaced.
I hope this addresses your query.
Best Regards
Yash
