I'm using PSIM 2023 and it does not appear I can edit the Inductor Core Database to enter a toroid without a bobbin. Is there a solution for this?
Hi Matthew,
You can access the Inductor database by selecting Device [...] >> Go to device. The 'Pcd Editor' window opens where you can investigate the parameters of all the library models or create your own custom ones:
For more details on how to create your own models, feel free to visit these tutorials:
Finally, now that PSIM is part of Altair, our magnetics design tool Flux can be leveraged for custom magnetics design. In this way, you can work on a FEA driven inductor model that is exported form Flux and used in PSIM.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Nikos Dimitrakopoulos
Hi Nikos,
I'm using a Magnetics 55932A2 toroid core without a bobbin. It is encapsulated in a custom case. Should I leave the Column, Shape, and Clip Area blank?

Unfortunately, PSIM and the inductor model database doesn't support toroid cores. The models were developed and limited to non-toroid Ferroxcube/Magnetics cores.
Sry for not clarifying right ahead, but I just found out myself
If you have lookup tables connecting losses with current or frequency, you can always use the lookup table blocks to have a rough estimate.
