FluidSIM

FluidSIM is an advanced software for the creation, simulation, instruction, and study of electronic circuits of all types, enabling engineers, enthusiasts, and students to get a complete overview of electronic circuit functions inside a streamlined editor, a large library of components (all with detailed descriptions and component photos), and several preview methods such as sectional view animations and video sequences.

Developed from the ground up by Art Systems in Germany, this application has managed to attract considerable attention from various educational and scientific organizations, including numerous awards since its introduction in distant 1995.

Due to its comprehensive approach to the visualization of electronic circuits, FluidSIM today represents a perfect companion in education environments, as well as self-study programs and enthusiast research.

Main features

The core pillars on top of FluidSIM functions are its competent circuitry editor, a large library of diagrams and components, and an interactive simulation engine that can monitor incredibly complex electrical systems and provide instant visual feedback with real-time controls over its switches, valves, and more. The circuit editor includes powerful virtual measuring devices that can provide real-time feedback on the status of electrical circuits with values for voltage, amperage, pressure, and pressure flow.

The extensive library of components includes not only electrical modules, but also pneumatic and hydraulic components, supply elements, actuators, various valves, and much more.

All of this is managed through a streamlined and user-friendly interface that promotes easy discovery of all its tools and in-depth customization of every project element. The entire process of the simulation is powered by the latest algorithms that allow lightning-fast and real-time simulation of electrical signals up to a frequency of 100 kHz.

All simulations are also accompanied by a powerful diagnosis service that can showcase an incredible variety of failure events, and educators can also introduce a large variety of component defects that can be hidden from pupils who must utilize their skill and intuition to detect possible faults in electrical circuit designs.
