Spool Position Designer
Automation Studio™ offers thousands of pre-configured spools within the valve builder. In case you do not find the needed spool, the Spool Position Designer allows you to easily build and store it in your Custom Spool database for future use.
The Spool Position Designer incorporates all the schematic tools required to create the spool position circuit of the inner function of any directional valve. The spool position may incorporate components such as flow control, pressure control, lines, orifices, restrictions, etc. |

Actuator Load & Force Profile Configuration
All forces and loads applied to cylinders and motors can be determined as a function of actuator's position or by linking to another component’s variable. You can therefore enter load scenarios in accordance with equipment use and geometry in order to reflect its real behavior. The emulation of complex mechanical systems and unforeseen events becomes easily accessible. |
|
Diagnostic Tools
Automation Studio™ provides extensive diagnostic tools allowing for detection of inconsistencies or errors such as free connectors, redundant or overlapping lines, non-compliance with ISO standards, etc. |

Choice of Simulated Phenomenas
Depending on the required precision level, Automation Studio™ allows you to take into consideration various simulation phenomenas:
Simulation Parameters
- External effort on actuators can be constant, periodic, or variable
- Static and dynamic friction
- Internal and external leaks
- Volumetric, mechanical, and thermal efficiencies
- Dynamic and static friction
- Inertia and mechanical transmission
- Valve kinematic and response time
- Dead band and hysteresis
- Flow force on valves
- Flow characteristics
- Component failure
- Specific heat coefficient

Fluid and Line Configuration
Automation Studio™ offers a rich set of pre-configured types of fluid, hoses, and material. In the case where you do not find the needed element, you can easily define it and save it for future use. Fluid and line builder allows you to configure the lines based on circuit, installation, function, material, type, etc. Line appearance can be configured for both editing and simulation. Furthermore, during simulation, the appearance can be defined as a function of threshold levels of either flow or pressure. |
