Tony Casale, VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at HydraForce had this to say about the project, “The integration of HydraForce components into Automation Studio offers a huge advantage to system designers. HydraForce and Famic have worked together in the past on i-Design, a hydraulic system design software that allows users to create custom integrated manifold circuits, specify valve assembly layout, as well as determine the price of the assembly.Īutomation Studio V5.7 has now incorporated a fully compatibly HydraForce library so that a user can start a project in i-Design and then export into Automation Studio for simulation. Automation Studio provides system animation with interactive operator components such as joysticks, steering wheels, and switches, in order to input proportional function commands to a simulation (see Figure 2). HydraForce and Famic have developed detailed, functional simulations for Automation Studio software that will simulate HydraForce products performance in a hydraulic circuit, as well as their compatibility with other system components (see Figure 1). HydraForce incorporated over 900 valves, components, and options into Automation Studio, an innovative system design, simulation and project documentation solution for the design and support of automation and fluid power systems. HydraForce Distributors and OEM customers will be able to easily design system circuits using HydraForce components and provide quick circuit simulation to verify various system functions including performance calculations, heat-load requirements and other engineering considerations such as horsepower, pressure drop and volumetric efficiency. The HydraForce product-enhanced software will allow complete modeling of an integrated hydraulic circuit inside Automation Studio.
