| Application Example as above. PLECS® is a circuit simulator that makes it simple to model and simulate complex electrical systems along with their controls. Supporting a top-down approach, it lets you start with ideal component models in order to focus on system behavior. Low-level device details can be added later to account for parasitic effects. With the intuitive, easy-to-use schematic editor, new models are set up quickly. Thanks to a proprietary handling of switching events, simulations of power electronic circuits are fast and robust. Whether you are simulating a simple power electronic converter or a complex electrical drive, PLECS is a powerful tool that will help you quickly obtain the results that you need. PLECS is now available in two different editions. Choose between the blockset for MATLAB®/Simulink® and the independent standalone solution:
PLECS Blockset (click here to open Plexim website in new window)
The PLECS Blockset is seamlessly integrated with Simulink. This allows to access the functionality of Simulink and extend the scope of system-oriented simulations. In a Simulink worksheet, a PLECS circuit appears as a subsystem block with control inputs and measurement outputs. Rather than relying on co-simulation, the Simulink engine itself solves the circuit equations alongside the control system. The PLECS Blockset offers full compatibility with simulation settings, supporting both variable and fixed time-step solvers. PLECS Standalone - New!! (click here to open Plexim website in new window)
The PLECS Standalone edition is a simulation platform on its own. It provides optimized solvers to speed up the simulation of electrical circuits and control systems. PLECS Standalone is a cost-effective yet powerful solution for dynamic system simulation in general. |
