1. The Unified Simulation Engine
FluidSIM 5 allows for seamless integration of different technologies. Users can simulate a pneumatic cylinder controlled by an electrical relay logic circuit, or a hydraulic system governed by a digital controller. This "multiphysics" approach mirrors real-world mechatronics, where mechanical, fluid, and electrical systems interact.
