Question
How to simulate a mechanism of 2 pistons coupled by a hose

We want to be able to drag/drive the piston of the first cylinder and see the piston in the second move as a result (because in reality the fluid chambers are connected).
already tried a position measure on the first piston to drive the servo motor on the second and a reaction force measure on the first to drive a force motor on the second, but I cannot get it done. The position measure is not accepted as a variable for the servo motor and the in spite of measuring a constant (friction) reaction force, the 2nd piston just does not move in the analysis.
Is there a way to do this in MDO? Please help!
Picture and example model are attached:
