The Art of Component Modeling and Simulation

At the 2026 CONEXPO trade show, Fluid Power Forum guest host Ben Brown interviews Elie Nasr of Famic Technologies about show highlights and Famic's Automation Studio software for system design, modeling, and simulation across hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical, automation, robotics, and P&ID. Nassar notes the growing impact of electronics on components such as valves, pumps, and transmission systems. He explains that Automation Studio enables engineers to build models using real manufacturer components and reuse the same design for simulation, system validation, maintenance, troubleshooting, training, and full documentation, with OEM feedback citing 80–90% reductions in design time.
