SIMSEN-Hydro is a hydraulic simulation software developed by EPFL and LMH. To start a simulation, open simsen23.exe and insert the password. This will launch the editor. Users can then open a tutorial file from the tuhydro folder, such as 1whammer.stm, and simulate it. Results can be visualized using Visual.exe. The exe folder contains the main applications, editor, solver and visualizer. Documentation is provided in the tuhydro folder. For support, contact Simsen at EPFL.
