SUMMARY
The discussion centers on developing a simulator for hydraulic systems, specifically focusing on modeling fluid flow through pipes. The user has explored ANSYS but found it inadequate for visualizing fluid dynamics, including valve operations. SolidWorks Flow Simulation (FloWorks) is suggested as an alternative tool that may better meet the user's requirements. The conversation highlights the need for effective software solutions in simulating hydraulic systems.
