A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
The necessary condition of a modular product, one of the highest symbols of good and efficient design, is for it to have the capacity to interchange components or add new ones. We have multiple examples of such objects, from bicycles to electronic components. Let us think for a moment about the huge number of processes…
Are you interested in staying current with new features and enhancements in HyperStudy 2022.2? Here is your chance if you have ~20 minutes to spare. Topics covered: * Connections * Methods * Post-Processing & Visualization * Reports & Customization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBuaRV7dA2s
In HyperWorks 2022.2, we have made several useful post-processing enhancements that will help you gain greater insight into your simulation results. Read below or simply watch this 30 min webinar to learn about what has been added to this release. For your convenience, direct links to the individual chapters of the…
In this video, we look at an inner current loop of a buck converter and try and convert a working s-domain controller into the z-domain. The digital controller needs to be re-designed to account for the effect of the digital delay inherent in all digital systems. SmartCtrl is used for the controller design.…
In this tutorial video, we convert a dc-dc boost converter into a closed-loop boost PFC. Two control loops are used, and average current control is performed on the inner loop with an outer voltage loop. The loop is closed in the analog, s-domain, along with a digital implementation in the z-domain. After the loops are…
This tutorial uses SmartCtrl to design a PI controller for a current loop of a buck converter. The design method used is applicable to any topology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbsPRwNg1HM
This video covers the design of a field-oriented control regime for a PMSM. The video covers how to determine the PI controller for Id, Iq, and speed. A methodology using PSIM and SmartCtrl is presented with a stable solution as the result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sExOzUxqxE
Learn how to co-simulate with PSIM and ModelSim to verify your Verilog code. This requires the additional ModCoupler module. You can apply the same workflow to verify VHDL code. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpBhM9WgiTM
Using PSIM and SmartCtrl this video looks at designing the outer voltage loop of a buck regulator. This is a continuation of a previous video where we designed the inner current loop already. A PI controller will be implemented. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag7GFsPLYFg
In this tutorial video, you will learn to use SmartCtrl's equation editor for general control system design. You will learn how to define the transfer function for the plant and sensor in the s-domain and then chose an appropriate controller to close the loop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpoCpC-oX7Q
