Innovative software
"Montreal-based Famic Technologies Inc. have introduced Automation Studio V5.1, a circuit design, simulation and project-documentation software package designed to meet the needs of engineers, trainers and service personnel."
"By implementing schematics in the program users, can improve the engineering process and cut down on the costs of deploying technical information."
"Using symbols from the extensive symbol libraries, users can quickly create simple or complex projects and show the system behaviour by means of simulation. As opposed to traditional CAD software, the simulation allows users to validate designs and perform training on systems. Once a circuit is drawn, the simulation mode shows valves shifting positions, cylinders moving, switches changing status etc. Fluid lines change colour to indicate fluid-pressure status and plotter functions can be added to monitor various elements such as speed, acceleration, flow, position, display trends, and store numerical data."
All components can be sized in the preferred unit system in order to influence the simulation and show accurate results. Animated cross-sections are also provided to assist in training applications.
"Automation Studio can also provide tools to implement proportional hydraulic applications, while users can make their own symbol libraries and customize reporting information and export projects in DXF file format."
