Optimizing Design and Costs for a Second-Stage Power Supply Filter with PSIM & HyperStudy
Altair EmployeeWorking with realistic design challenges is always rewarding, especially when it comes to showcasing the full power of Altair’s solutions. In this new tutorial, we dive deeper into HyperStudy’s advanced optimization capabilities as a sequel to our "Getting Started with PSIM & HyperStudy" tutorial, where we introduced automated design exploration (DOE). This time, we push the boundaries further, utilizing the PSIM & HyperStudy connection for enhanced optimization potential.
Using a half-bridge DC/DC module with an integrated inductor and control as an example, we demonstrate a complete design workflow for optimizing a second-stage filter. While the goal may sound straightforward, achieving it involves tackling real-world design challenges and avoiding potential pitfalls. We'll break down how to approach these obstacles and make smart choices in component selection for optimal results.
Whether you're fine-tuning your designs or just starting, this video will provide valuable insights for creating efficient, optimized systems.
