Besonders in der technischen Aus- und Weiterbildung ist es notwendig, Kompetenzen in einer sicheren Umgebung zu erlernen. Mithilfe von Simulationen können komplexe Prozesse und Zusammenhänge auf eine sichere und zugängliche Art und Weise vermittelt werden. Seit mehr als 25 Jahren ist FluidSIM die weltweit führende Simulationssoftware zum Erstellen und Simulieren von Schaltplänen in der Pneumatik, Hydraulik und Elektrotechnik. Mit FluidSIM werden wertvolle technische Kompetenzen erworben, die das Entstehen von Fehlern vorbeugen und eine Steigerung der Effizienz und Qualität sicherstellen.
Seit mehr als 25 Jahren ist FluidSIM die weltweit führende Simulationssoftware zum Erstellen und Simulieren von Schaltplänen in der Pneumatik, Hydraulik und Elektrotechnik. FluidSIM ermöglicht das Erwerben von wertvollen technischen Kompetenzen, indem Schaltungen entworfen, durch Simulation zum Leben erweckt und durch Interaktion optimiert werden. Die Simulation von Steuerungen und Prozessen ist längst industrieller Standard, der die Vorbeugung von Fehlern sowie eine Steigerung der Effizienz und Qualität sicherstellt.
FluidSIM wurde bereits mehrfach ausgezeichnet, unter anderem mit dem Expertensystem-Innovationspreis, dem Worlddidac Award und dem deutschen Bildungssoftware-Preis. Mit mehr als 300.000 Installationen weltweit gehört FluidSIM zu den erfolgreichsten Software-Paketen in der mechatronischen Ausbildung.
So gehts:
FluidSIM provides a practical way for students to develop their skills in automation technology and to master complex tasks. The learning objectives of FluidSIM include:
FluidSIM can be accessed in different ways. Depending on the licence, users can choose between the Windows version and the web version, or they can opt to integrate FluidSIM into our digital learning portal Festo LX.
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.
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.
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.
There are different licensing models for using FluidSIM. Depending on which technology will be the focus of the training in FluidSIM, a distinction is made between FluidSIM Pneumatics, FluidSIM Hydraulics, and FluidSIM Electrical Engineering. There is also the option of combining all three technologies.
FluidSIM 365 gives you time-limited access (1, 3 or 5 years) to the technology you have selected and you can access it via the web and Windows versions as well as via our Festo LX digital learning portal.
You are already a user of version 5 or version 6 of FluidSIM and would like to switch to the new licensing version, FluidSIM 365? Request a quote now to receive attractive upgrade conditions!
FluidSIM offers tutors and students numerous functionalities and contents that make working and learning with FluidSIM easier and more specific.
FluidSIM also has component libraries for pneumatics, hydraulics and electrical engineering that can either be used together or separately. The component libraries include hundreds of pneumatic, hydraulic, electrotechnical, electric and digital components, and are constantly being expanded and revised.
FluidSIM offers both real and virtual measuring devices that can be integrated in the circuits. Before the simulation, real measuring devices are installed, while virtual measuring devices are used during or before the simulation to display the simulated values of the circuit. Virtual measuring devices, in contrast to real measuring devices, do not influence the circuits. That means they show the real values of the circuit simulated by FluidSIM. Virtual measuring devices can be used in electrical as well as pneumatic and hydraulic circuits.
FluidSIM has an innovative diagnostic concept, which enables the readily available error 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 repaired virtually.
With the expert mode of FluidSIM, profiles can be created and lessons can be organised and then assigned to students. The profiles enable the functions, components and error models, for example, to be narrowed down so that students only deal with the functions and tasks that are relevant to them. Multimedia training content is also available on FluidSIM so that variety and interest can be added to the lessons.
With FluidSIM, students can put the knowledge they have learned into practice straight away. Signals are transferred 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 can also be fully adapted to the key features 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 industry standard OPC-UA is also supported, bringing FluidSIM even closer to industrial applications.
