The hydraulics market and the wider Fluid Power sector reach mid-2026 with a clearer picture. Fluid Power has stopped declining, but hasn't returned to solid growth yet. 🏗️ The Hydraulics Market in Italy, 2025: Where the Recovery Starts Fluid Power…
How the new update changes the way fluid is described in fluid power simulations. A case study shows the library's flexibility in practice. Why Viscosity and Density Are Not Just a Number In fluid power system simulation, it is easy…
An update to our 1D dynamic simulation library for hydraulic systems, built on OpenModelica: fluid model updated, new components, and more reliable FMU export. SFPLibDyn 4.0 is now available, the latest update to our hydraulic simulation library for fluid-mechanical systems,…
Why Modelica and OpenModelica are already ready for artificial intelligence — and what this means for fluid power system designers Artificial intelligence is changing the way many engineers work. But not all tools are ready to embrace it the same…
Hydraulic Dynamic Simulation: From Component Modeling to Enterprise Process Integration In collaboration with Vis Hydraulics, we developed a technical pathway dedicated to dynamic simulation applied to hydraulic systems. The goal of the webinar series was not simply to showcase a…
In hydraulic manifold design, many choices that appear secondary — such as the distance between two elbows or the inclination of a connecting passage — can lead to pressure losses very different from what is usually expected. This article provides a concise and…
Why it’s important to simulate pressure losses in hydraulic manifolds In modern fluid power systems, manifolds (or valve blocks) play a crucial role. The growing trend toward increasingly compact circuits leads to complex internal geometries, with tight bends, intersections, and…
From March 3 to 7, 2026, SmartFluidPower attended CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas as a guest at the VIS Hydraulics booth. CONEXPO is one of the leading international events dedicated to construction equipment and technologies for mobile applications. For us,…
Inauguration of the New Office in Modena On February 12, we officially opened our new Modena office (Via Giovanni Omboni 7) with shareholders, staff, and collaborators. The on‑site inauguration featured an informal gathering with light refreshments, attended by all shareholders—including…
Official Guide to the SmartFluidPower Dynamic Library We’ve published the online guide for the SmartFluidPower Dynamic Library (SFPLibDyn)—a resource designed to support both new and experienced users in getting started with the software and in the operational use of the…
