hydraulic circuit simulation

[bnrg]

Hello All,
I am looking for a program that will model hydraulic circuits using 'standard' components such as motors, cylinders and valves. I'm designing a circuit that has some time dependent features. I am not looking to design the components themselves, just want to see how they all work together.
Thanks,
Bob

Parker has some design software at:

For any program that you investigate, make sure that it can deal with transient situations.

Some programs are fine for steady-state cases, but don't deal well with transients.

MSC software has a program called Easy 5, it will do more than the 2 programs listed, but is much more expensive.

hey bnrg,

i have used automation studio to do exactly what you ask. It was very easy to use and the demo is fully fuctionnal except for the save command.
