The discussion revolves around the search for pneumatic and hydraulic simulation software suitable for educational purposes, particularly for simulating experiments involving various components like valves and flow controls. Participants share their experiences and recommendations regarding available software options.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the best software options, and multiple competing views regarding the suitability and cost of different programs remain present.
Some software options are noted as potentially expensive, and there is uncertainty about the specific capabilities of certain programs, particularly regarding their applicability to both hydraulics and pneumatics.
This discussion may be useful for students and professionals seeking simulation software for pneumatic and hydraulic systems, particularly in educational contexts.
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.

--thank you.
