Modelling and simulation of hydraulic circuits
Simplorer, well known as a Multi Domain Simulation Approach, now also provides a greatly enhanced and easy-to-use facility for modelling and simulation of hydraulic circuits.
With Playback Mode users now can replay long term simulations and debug models without re-computation.
Details can be analyzed easier than before and the presentation of simulation results is simplified.
The new Animated Symbol feature creates symbols that change shape during the simulation according to the value of a system quantity.
Using this feature, users can create impressive sheets for presentations.
Animated Symbols extend Simplorer's widely used application for feasibility studies and design presentations for customers.

Semiconductor and other models come with different user-selected levels of accuracy.
Each component category provides predefined supplier specific elements as well as a generalized model.
The generalized model serves as a start point for parametrizations from data sheet information.
A specialized wizard guides the user step by step through the accuracy level selection and parameter input process.
When complete, the new model is stored automatically in the component library.
The completely new DES module supports the integration of user defined non-electrical models.
It is designed to integrate into the Simplorer system solver any model based on a differential equation system description.
Thus the DES becomes part of the overall model description and profits from the robust and rapid Simplorer solver.
Target applications for this module are the modeling of mechanics, thermal or hydraulic applications.
The coefficient matrices can be defined using the DES wizard or by any external application using an ASCII file interface.
Along with the already existing direct FEA solver integration (FLUX2D) additional software packages can now be connected to Simplorer.
The combination of Simplorer with other simulation packages offers the user a variety of benefits.
The direct integration of already existing models saves time and reduces potential transformation errors.
The models run in the original simulator and are co-simulated with model components in Simplorer.
Easy to use wizards make the connection between the simulators easy.
Data exchange and simulation management is done automatically.
The direct integration of already existing models helps to protect investments in already purchased simulation packages and enhances the modeling capabilities.
The Matlab/Simulink interface allows the connection of control systems designed with these simulation packages to the real circuit simulator of Simplorer.
Another important link provides a close integration of the widely used MathCad package.
MathCad models can be used for complex mathematical operations both in a simulation model and the postprocessor.
Version 4.2 also introduces a series of new preprocessing tools.
SheetScan, the first of these tools, offers an easy to use, fully graphical way to include component characteristics into a simulation model.
SheetScan uses a bitmap of a characteristic, e.g., scanned from a data book.
In a step by step process the user is guided until finally an xy-value pair data file is created.
This file can than be used directly to describe nonlinear electrical components, time and transfer functions.
Simplorer is a sophisticated simulation and design package for complex technical applications.
Simplorer's unique simulation backplane technology allows a fast and efficient model generation even for large scale problems.
Heterogenous systems are easy to describe using different engineering descriptions simultaneously.
The combination of electric circuits, block diagrams and state machines in one model saves time during the model generation and the simulation process.
Simplorer is fully Windows compliant.
The intuitive user interface, numerous built in functions and lots of predefined models reduce the training period to a minimum.
Superior support with short response times protect your investments and keeps your projects on track.
Simplorer is the all-in-one simulation solution for designers in power electronics, motion design, medical applications and micro machining as well as in the automotive, aircraft and space industry.
Simplorer is available for Windows 95/98/2000/NT.
It requires a Pentium class computer with at least 32MB (WIN95/98) or 64MB (WIN/NT) of RAM.
A free evaluation CD-ROM is available.
