This discussion focuses on pneumatic and hydraulic simulation software suitable for educational experiments. Key recommendations include Automation Studio, which offers design, simulation, and animation capabilities for hydraulics and pneumatics, and Festo's software, which is also noted for its functionality. Users express a need for trial versions to validate results from lab experiments involving components like three-way valves and piston movements. HydrauliCAD is mentioned as a potential option, although its capabilities for pneumatics are uncertain.

Actually its not for a piping system. I want to use it to simulate the pneumatic experiments we are doing in school. Using various parts such as three way valve, four way valve, flow controls, pulse valve, etc to show the output as the movement of a piston. I just want to make sure that the results I obtain in the lab are correct.FredGarvin said:Are you looking for specific applications or something to lay out a piping system?
FredGarvin said:Ahh. The only ones I know of are going to be high end, expensive stuff. I'll keep my eyes out for anything though.
ranger said:I'm looking pneumatic/hydraulic simulation software. Anyone know any good ones? It would be nice if they had a trail version also.
--thank you.
