Fluid Power CAD Maintenance Engineers Hydraulics Pneumatics HMI
Automation Studio is a circuit design, simulation and project documentation software for fluid
power systems and electrical projects conceived by Famic Technologies Inc.. It is used
for CAD, maintenance, and training purposes. Mainly used by engineers, trainers, and service
and maintenance personnel. Automation Studio can be applied in the design, training and
troubleshooting of hydraulics, pneumatics, HMI, and electrical control systems.[1][2]
The educational version of Automation Studio is a lighter version used by engineering and
technical schools to train future engineers and technicians. The software is designed for
schools that teach technical subjects such as industrial technologies, mechatronics,
electromechanical technologies, electrical & electronics, automation, and maintenance.
Modeling and simulation are used to illustrate theoretical aspects.

Libraries features
Automation Studio is used as a design and simulation tool in the fields of hydraulics,
pneumatics, electrical and automation.
Automation Studio Hydraulics functions are used for hydraulic system engineering purposes.
Automation Studio Hydraulics includes a specific symbol library and uses modeling techniques
such the Bernoullis law and the gradient method.
Automation Studio Hydraulics is the main aspect of Automation Studio: it is used to conceive
and to test hydraulic systems while taking into account thermal parameters. It displays inside
views of the elements in the schematics. The Automation Studio library includes additional
elements such as commands and control devices (PID controller, CAN bus, and servo-
direction).
Automation Studio Pneumatics is similar to Automation Studio Hydraulics, but the simulation
is done for air rather than fluids. This library, like Automation Studio Hydraulics, is used to
design and test models.
Thus, the simulation elements that are used are not the same as those in the hydraulics library.
The electrotechnical module in Automation Studio is used for design, simulation, validation,
documentation and troubleshooting of electrical diagrams. It includes multi-line and one-line
representation according to the users' choice. The different aspects of the IEC and NEMA
international standards are respected: components identification, symbols, ratings, ports
names, etc.
The electrotechnical module works simultaneously with the fluid power technologies which
allows the users to design and simulate complete systems
