Simulation software can create and simulate the circuits allied with the technologies such Pneumatics,
Hydraulics, electrical, PLC, Digital Electronics etc. All technologies shall be linked together, and
component interactions should be seen during simulation to create complete systems which reinforce
students understanding of system’s interactions.
It shall be possible to easily reproduce any lab equipment or complete system to simulate, analyze
and troubleshoot them before the hands-on experience.
The Hydraulic Library shall comply with ISO 1219-1 and 1219-2 standards, the Hydraulic Library
(industrial and proportional) shall offer the entire component symbols required to create mobile and
industrial hydraulic systems and functions. Components should be preconfigured. Moreover,
simulation parameters such as performance curves, external loads, leaks, viscosity, and thermal
characteristics shall be configured as needed.
The Pneumatic Library shall include symbols complying with ISO 1219-1 and 1219-2 standards to
create pneumatic, electro pneumatic and logic systems. The parameters of pneumatic components
should also be configurable.
PLC Ladder Logic libraries shall contain Allen Bradley™, Siemens™ and IEC61131-3 to create and
simulate the control part of an automated system.
Digital electronics library shall have standard devices including inverters, logic gates, flip-flops,
counters, shift registers, comparators, switches, LEDs, 7-bar display, decoders, multiplexers, etc.
Electrical one line library shall enable the design of diagrams for all voltage levels in a typical one-line
representation of networks for power generation, transmission and distribution.
Electro technical Library shall offer a wide array of components to create AC and DC electrical circuits,
from basic to advanced uses. It should also support IEC and NEMA standards. Motor soft starters and
variable frequency drives should be available. It shall offer components built according to the real
Page 16 of 38
model from manufacturers such as Siemens™, Allen Bradley™, etc. Tools shall be available to quickly
implement and design entire scaled cabinets and junction boxes. A rail mounting for assembly
grouping as well as ducting elements for wires should be available.
Electrical Controls Library shall interact with all components from other libraries so as to create
electrically controlled systems. It shall also support IEC and JIC standards.
The Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Module should be the tool of choice to implement control
structures. In addition to macro-steps, it shall include encapsulating steps enabling hierarchical order.
The 2D / 3D HMI module shall provide mechanism to easily create animated shapes and control
panels that reproduce the behaviour of the equipment they represent.
Control panel module shall allow to easily create control panels and to operate the virtual system or
real equipment.
Component sizing module shall provide calculation worksheets specific to each category of
pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical components which include calculation tools necessary for
component sizing. Users shall have quick access to applicable equations and parameter definitions.
The software shall enable users to export SFC / GRAFCET into XML format or into Siemens STEP 7
Graph in order to program the Siemens S7-300 Series PLC.
Simulation software shall allow easily creating or reproducing assignments and learning material,
adapting it to the teaching curriculums.
The software shall offer teachers and students an expansive library with preconfigured components
of reputed manufacturer.
It shall be possible for online remote access licence connection for teachers and students. It should
allow preparing and simulating the courses and homework from home, school or workplace.
Course material should be available for each technology. It should provide teachers and trainers with
the essentials for preparing course curriculum. It should have guides, manuals, lectures, videos and
lab notes for all levels of discipline.
Teachers should be made using multimedia sequences; course content offered shall be interactive
and animated live by the software simulation. Teachers shall modify this content to better fit their
needs.
The Workflow shall allow defining interactive activities for existing projects and connecting them to
other applications. It should also automate repetitive tasks without programming knowledge.
The software shall include a 3D editor for creating and importing 3D parts in STEP, STL and IGES. It
shall also possible to visualize, simulate and animate them, simultaneously, with the technologies that
drive the system.
The software shall include a Mechanism Manager, mechanical bodies shall be linked to Fluid Power
actuators to simulate and animate their effects.
In addition to the above features, the software shall have following also
• Measuring instruments such as multimeter, clamp-meter, oscilloscope, hydraulic tester,
thermometer
• Create or activate pre-defined failures to develop troubleshooting skills
• Create libraries containing only the required components to specific exercises
• Train with ready-to-use components from Manufacturers' Catalogues
• Remote access capabilities for E-learning
• Creating digital twins of your hardware equipment
• Virtual Systems: conveyor, traffic lights, elevator, car wash, pick & place, etc.
• International standards including ISO, IEC, NEMA, SAE, JIC, etc.
• Connecting to real devices such as PLCs, Arduino™, CAN devices
• Connecting to Trainer kits and Mechatronics systems through IO card and OPC
• Establishing SIL & HIL connection with physical hardware
• Plotting simulated parameters to monitor and visualize system's behaviour
