Audience
Technical and engineering educators seeking a comprehensive, hands‑on simulation tool to teach fluid power, electrical, and automation technologies
About Automation Studio
Automation Studio E9.0 – Educational Edition is an intuitive simulation platform that enables educators to train future technicians and engineers on hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and PLC systems through realistic, illustrated components and interactive virtual trainers. Since 1986, it has helped students build and troubleshoot circuits using libraries of thousands of 2D CAD and electrical symbols, plus 3D virtual systems via Unity 3D CAD. E9 adds a dedicated Forum for sharing demo files and custom libraries, premade virtual trainers for all technologies, remote e‑learning access, and tools to create digital twins of hardware. Users can customize symbol libraries, activate pre‑defined failures to develop troubleshooting skills, connect to real devices, and use virtual instruments (multimeter, clamp‑meter, oscilloscope, hydraulic tester, thermometer, manometer) to plot and analyze system behavior.

Ansys Motor-CAD
Ansys Motor-CAD is a dedicated electric machine design tool for fast multiphysics simulation across the full torque-speed operating range. Motor-CAD enables design engineers to evaluate motor topologies and concepts across the full operating range, to produce designs that are optimized for performance, efficiency and size. Motor-CAD software’s four integrated modules—EMag, Therm, Lab, Mech—enable multiphysics calculations to be performed quickly and iteratively, so users can get from concept to final design in less time. Fast calculations and streamlined data input processes leave time for Motor-CAD users to explore more motor topologies and fully assess the impact of advanced loss effects in the initial stages of an electromechanical design. The release includes powerful new features for design optimization, multi-physics analysis and system modelling for electric motors. Fast multiphysics simulation across a full torque-speed operating range.
