FluidSIM 6

FluidSIM 6 enables the design, simulation, and instruction of (electro)pneumatic and (electro)hydraulic systems, as well as digital and electronic circuits. The software is ideally suited for lesson preparation, classroom use, and self-directed learning.

For more than 20 years, FluidSIM has been the world’s leading circuit design and simulation software in pneumatics, hydraulics, and now electrical engineering.

In addition to powerful simulation capabilities, FluidSIM provides instructors with a comprehensive selection of texts, images, and videos to create highly interactive and engaging lessons.

Together with your students, technicians, or engineering trainees, explore the fascinating world of real-time simulation and achieve measurable learning success at every level.




One Tool for Every Learning Requirement

As an instructor or trainer, you benefit from advanced functionality for professional lesson preparation and delivery. FluidSIM 6 includes an Expert Mode for full access to all features.

Students, on the other hand, can begin in Standard Mode, which focuses on essential functions and offers a streamlined feature set designed to support structured and successful learning.




Real-Time Testing and Simulation

Simulation of control systems and processes has long been an industrial standard. It reduces downtime, minimizes errors, and improves efficiency and quality.

All component parameters correspond to those of Festo Didactic training systems and can be precisely adjusted to match real-world equipment characteristics.




Advanced GRAFCET Functionality

GRAFCET has become the standard in modern automation training. FluidSIM takes GRAFCET to the next level with:

  • Editing – Standards-compliant documentation
  • Visualization – Clear and intuitive process representation
  • Monitoring – Color-coded signals highlight faults or malfunctions
  • Control – Direct control of fluid power and electrical systems




Making Speed Visible

The new simulation core in FluidSIM supports simulation cycles of up to 10 kHz. All actuator and control component parameters can be freely configured.

Simulation results are recorded in millisecond cycles and exported as text files for further analysis. Integrated virtual oscilloscopes make frequencies up to 100 kHz visible, enabling detailed dynamic analysis.




Learning Through Practice

While theory provides the foundation, practical application drives motivation and long-term success. In many cases, FluidSIM 6 can be directly connected to real training systems via EasyPort, enabling digital and analog control of physical equipment.

With joystick support, learners can operate multiple switches and valves simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging hands-on experience.




Extensive Libraries – Maximum Flexibility

Pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical engineering libraries are available individually or combined within a single platform.

Users can select which libraries are active within the program. All technologies integrate seamlessly within a single circuit diagram or project, allowing multidisciplinary system design and simulation.




Additional Information

Circuit diagrams can be created using extensive libraries covering pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, electronic, and digital components. In addition, GRAFCET diagrams can be developed and integrated into the simulation environment whenever required.

FluidSIM 6 introduces an advanced diagnostic concept. Predefined fault models representing common and realistic component failures are integrated into the system, enabling learners to identify, analyze, and correct typical errors in a structured manner.

The intuitive user interface, comprehensive component libraries, and powerful simulation engine are further enhanced by extensive teaching and learning materials, ensuring a complete and effective educational experience.
