About FluidDraw P6
FluidDraw P6 is a software platform from Festo that provides a comprehensive tool for creating and documenting fluid systems. It combines schematic drawing capabilities, component libraries, and simulation functions so users can easily design and visualize pneumatic and hydraulic circuits. The software allows for precise documentation and helps facilitate the design process by providing helpful tools for engineers. With features like auto-generation of bills of materials and real-time simulation, users can test their designs effectively before implementation. Key capabilities: schematic creation component selection simulation tools documentation generation project management Best for: engineers and designers that need to create and analyze fluid power systems.
FluidDraw P6 by Festo is a highly specialized CAD software designed for the efficient creation and documentation of pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical circuit diagrams. Developed for automation and fluid power engineers, it streamlines the design process by combining intelligent drafting tools with direct integration into the Festo product catalog, allowing for instant insertion of real components with complete part data and technical references. Its compliance with ISO and DIN EN standards ensures that generated schematics meet industry requirements for accuracy and clarity. The ribbon-based interface provides an intuitive workflow, while features like autoconnect, alignment aids, and the overview window greatly enhance ease of use, particularly for large and multi-sheet projects. A key strength of FluidDraw P6 is its automated documentation capability, generating bills of materials, terminal and cable diagrams, and project summaries with minimal manual effort. The software’s ability to automatically create symbols and inspection-ready drawings for complex, configurable products such as valve terminals significantly accelerates project development.
