Sensor/FluidSIM is comprehensive software for creating, simulating, teaching and learning electropneumatic, electrohydraulic, digital and electronic circuits. The various program functions mesh seamlessly and link different media and sources of knowledge.
FluidSIM combines an intuitive circuit diagram editor with detailed descriptions of all components, component photos, sectional view animations and video sequences. The simulation software is ideal for preparing lessons, for use in lessons and for independent learning.
FluidSIM has already received several awards, including the Expert System Innovation Award, the Worlddidac Award and the German Educational Software Award. With more than 300,000 installations worldwide since 1995, FluidSIM is one of the most successful software packages in mechatronics training.
This course covers basic knowledge about designing, testing, and simulating fluid power circuits.
