A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
Set up a co-simulation between Matlab/Simulink and PSIM using PSIM's SimCoupler module. This video covers the setup process so that you can link a PSIM simulation with Simulink: - Determine the signals to pass between the two programs, - Setup waveforms to analyze in post-processing - Setup variables that can be defined in…
In this tutorial video, we introduce the LEVEL 2 MOSFET that was included with PSIM v10. Using the C2M0280120D SiC MOSFET from Cree as a case study we extract the parameters from the datasheet and compare our simulation results with LTspice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iATO3mUKBPc Other related resources: * Level 2…
This video covers a 3-phase inverter from open-loop to a bi-directional real & reactive power grid link inverter with digital control. The control is performed in the dq reference with pi controllers. Id provides the bidirectional real power and Iq provides the bidirectional reactive power. SmartCtrl is used to design the…
Discrete Element Method Calibration with EDEM Calibration or the use of calibrated models is an important component of any Altair® EDEM™ simulation. This blog summarises the most common discrete element method calibration approach and outlines the resources available. Why calibrate? Bulk materials come in all shapes and…
20 years ago, Feko was the first commercial high-frequency electromagnetic solver with an implementation of MLFMM (Multilevel Fast Multipole Method). Now, in the recent Feko version 2022.2 the memory requirements, runtime, and scalability of the MLFMM solver have been improved again. Thanks to these advances, electrically…
Extrusion tools ( die, container, etc) are pre-heated before they are loaded into the extrusion press. If extrusion tools are not heated to the correct temperature then there is the risk of premature die failure, incorrect metal flow, and sticking billets. Most extrusion plants set the die oven at a fixed temperature in…
Extrusion toolings are pre-heated before they are loaded into the extrusion press. If extrusion toolings are not heated to the correct temperature then there is the risk of premature die failure, incorrect metal flow, and sticking billets. Most extrusion plants set the die oven at a fixed temperature in the range 450 – 500…
We often deal with issues in our models and have a hard time finding what might be going on. This article aims to demonstrate some debugging scenarios in a bumper beam model, but it can occur in any model. We will describe three different cases with the same model, representing different debugging scenarios. At the end,…
(This is a translated version of a blog, posted by Kosuke Ikeda. The original blog in Japanese can be found here). Overview PSIM is a simulation environment mainly used for power electronics and motor drive design applications. It is often that existing PSIM users couple their models with Simulink. Alair's integration…
Power converters can generate electromagnetic noise in electric systems that will be conducted through the wires and may disturb the operation of other components that are connected to them. These ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) issues must be considered as all products need to meet noise thresholds defined by the…
