User versions of FluidSIM
FluidSIM can be accessed in different ways. Depending on the licence, users can choose between the Windows version, the web version or they can opt to integrate FluidSIM into our digital learning portal Festo LX.
FluidSIM web version
The web version of FluidSIM is device-independent. This means that it can be used anywhere, at any time, and from any device (e.g., iPad). The web version offers ~80% of the functionality of the Windows version, including all the most important and most used functions. It is developed further constantly and also offers additional functionality, that is only available in the web.
FluidSIM Windows version
The Windows version includes all the functionalities and content of FluidSIM. Please note that this version can only be run on devices with a Windows operating system. This version can also be used offline.
FluidSIM integration in Festo LX
By integrating FluidSIM in Festo LX, simulation tasks can be created directly in Festo LX by the trainers and then worked on and simulated by the students. Users no longer have to switch between the two programs.
The right FluidSIM licence for your application
Various licensing models are available for the use of FluidSIM. Depending on which technology is to be trained in FluidSIM, a distinction is made between FluidSIM Pneumatics, FluidSIM Hydraulics and FluidSIM Electrical Engineering. There is also the option of using all three technologies in combination.
With FluidSIM 365 you receive time-limited access (1, 3 or 5 years) to the technology you have selected and can use it in the web and Windows version as well as within our Festo LX digital learning portal.

Functionalities and contents of FluidSIM
FluidSIM offers teachers and students numerous functionalities and contents that make working and learning with FluidSIM easier and more targeted.
Access to extensive component libraries
FluidSIM also has component libraries for pneumatics, hydraulics and electrical engineering that can be used either separately or in combination. The component libraries include hundreds of pneumatic, hydraulic, electrotechnical, electric and digital components, and are constantly expanded and revised.
Virtual and real measuring devices
FluidSIM offers both real and virtual measuring devices for integration into circuits. Real measuring devices are inserted before the simulation, and virtual measuring devices are inserted either before or during the simulation in order to display all state variables. In contrast to real measuring devices, virtual measuring devices do not influence the circuits. They therefore show the pure values of the circuit simulated by FluidSIM. Virtual measuring devices can be used in electrical as well as fluid power circuits.
Learning through error models in FluidSIM
FluidSIM has an innovative diagnostic concept, Which enables the readily available fault models for various components to be compiled. Before a simulation, a specific error configuration can be selected; this then has an impact on the subsequent simulation. During this process, defective components can be identified with the help of virtual measuring devices and then virtually repaired.
Lesson preparation and learning materials in FluidSIM
FluidSIM facilitates the organization of lessons with its expert mode, which can be used to create profiles and assign them to learners. Profiles make it possible to narrow down functions, components and error models, for example, so that learners only deal with the functions and tasks that are relevant to them. In addition, FluidSIM provides multimedia learning content to make lessons interesting and varied.
Interfaces to practical applications
With FluidSIM, students put the knowledge they have learned into practice straight away. Signals are transmitted either via the connected hardware or via interfaces from other programs. All parameters are identical to those of the training packages from Festo Didactic and additionally, they can be fully adapted to the characteristics of other components. The EasyPort hardware enables FluidSIM to be used both as a controller for real systems and as a replacement for them. The OPC-UA industry standard is also supported, bringing FluidSIM even closer to the industry.
