- Every design begins with an idea.
- The idea is then virtually developed to prototype real systems.
- Finally, the idea is made into a tangible product.
- The Conceptual stage starts with needs assessment and proceeds to initial discussions and drawings.
- The purpose of this stage is to determine the viability of the concept, investigate project needs, and establish sizing requirements for components in the system.
- Schematic drawings are developed for discussion and simulation.
- The Virtual stage takes schematics and component characteristics to create a complete system in HyPneu's virtual laboratory.
- Designers run animated simulations to see how well components perform individually and with other components.
- HyPneu is used to virtually prototype any or all critical systems.
- The Actual stage occurs when controlling conditions, PLC control panel, and/or machine are actually present and connected during a test.
- With HyPneu, the computer can connect to an actual system so that HyPneu can simulate controlling conditions, PLC control panel, or machine functions.
