„Give me five!“
This slogan not only stands for the invitation to give each other a high five, e.g. due to a success or congratulations, but also forms the motto of the F.EE group of companies for the launch of the new version 5 of the simulation tool fe.screen-sim.
Managing Director Hans Fleischmann explains why this is the case: ‘We decided on the slogan “Give me five” not only because of the version number, but also because we want to give ourselves and our users a symbolic “high five” for the new possibilities and features.
Version 5 marks a milestone in the creation of digital twins.’
All features and highlights at a glance
In the attached short presentation you will find important information on the general functions of ‘fe.screen-sim’. You will also receive an overview of the new features that V5 of the simulation software has to offer.
All innovations in detail
NEW PERFORMANCE MAXIMUM
![[Translate to English:] Anlage-Performance-Maximum-SIM](/fileadmin/_processed_/8/d/csm_fescreen-sim-Performance-Maximum_6f2154e288.jpg)
fe.screen-sim V5 will set new benchmarks, particularly in terms of performance. The basis for this is the fact that F.EE develops the rendering independently as a central component of the simulation. In addition to considerable performance advantages, this also means a flexible and highly optimised display for simulations. As rendering has a significant influence on the optimum utilisation of a graphics card, F.EE's proprietary technology enables particularly efficient and smooth display – even of highly detailed CAD models.
MORE ROBOTS, MAXIMUM SYNERGY

A lot has also happened in the area of robot simulation with version 5. Here, F.EE is cooperating with the company ‘Robo DK’, among others. ‘Thanks to the innovative plug-in, robots can now be integrated into fe.screen-sim even more easily and intuitively - regardless of type or manufacturer: the robots can be easily programmed, simulated and thus fully tested. All interactions and interfaces are thus tested in advance in the overall network. The collaboration with ‘Eleven Dynamics’ also makes it possible to optimise robot paths using AI.
THE TIME MACHINE IN THE SIMULATION

V5 also has another detail with implications for practical work with digital twins. ‘We have integrated a controller into fe.screen-sim that allows you to play with time, so to speak,’ explains Head of Development Peter Meier. This offers completely new analysis options: By slowing down the physical processes, very fast processes can be analysed in slow motion. At the same time, processes that often take hours, days or weeks can be displayed in fast motion, allowing entire production days to be simulated in a short space of time, for example.
RENDERING ON A NEW LEVEL!

In addition to the increase in performance, the new rendering also brings with it many visual innovations and improvements. Thanks to ray tracing technology, the visualisation of elements including lighting, shadows and reflections is more realistic than ever before and the systems can be simulated almost photorealistically. Not only users benefit from the new performance and visualisation quality when creating digital twins, but also other departments involved in the engineering and project process.
HOSEPACKS? NO LONGER A PROBLEM!
![[Translate to English:] Schlauchpakete-Simulation-V5-SIM](/fileadmin/_processed_/b/7/csm_fescreen-sim-Zeitmaschine-Schlauchpakete_bc2c5a5572.jpg)
As automation specialists, we at F.EE know from our own experience that small details often determine the success of complex projects, which is why we attach so much importance to continuously increasing the level of detail in our simulation software. Hose assemblies can cause delays and costs in a project if they collide with other objects in the system and are only discovered during actual commissioning. V5 provides a remedy here and enables a simulation including this detail in a simple way.
EFFECTIVE DATA ANALYSIS ON THE DIGITAL TWIN
An additional highlight is the fact that the condition monitoring tool ‘fe.screen-analytics’, another industrial software product from F.EE, has now been connected to the simulation software, thereby bundling expertise across all areas. ‘This new interface opens up exciting possibilities in terms of data analysis in virtual commissioning. Thanks to the exchange between fe.screen-sim and fe.screen-analytics, data and measured values can be displayed live in the simulation, perfectly analysed and systems can therefore be tested even more efficiently.
