Simplorer 9.0

Simplorer® is a multi-domain simulation software program that enables

engineers to model, simulate, analyze and optimize complex systems including electromechanical, electromagnetic, power and other mechatronic designs. Using Simplorer’s powerful modeling features and communication backplane technology, engineers are able to construct virtual prototypes of all aspects of a system including the electronics, sensors/ actuators, motors, generators, power converters, controls and embedded software. This enables engineers to investigate system functionality and performance and to verify overall design. The result is a dramatic reduction in development time and cost, increased system reliability and performance optimization.

Industry Solutions

Facilitates System Design – Simplorer offers multiple modeling techniques

including circuits, block diagrams, state machines, equation level, and

modeling languages such as VHDL-AMS, SML (Simplorer Modeling Language), and C/C++. These can be used concurrently allowing engineers to easily

analogies often employed by single-domain simulation tools.

Product Features

Modeling Techinques

VHDL- AMS – IEEE standard 1076.1 is a

true modeling language that provides extensive capability and exchange able complex models for analog, mixed-signal and multi-domain designs

Circuits – fast circuit simulation includes multilevel semiconductor modeling, and data exchange between models

Block Diagrams – signal flow based models for linear, nonlinear, continuous, time- discrete hybrid-systems

State Machines – event driven approach for complex modeling and logic control (i.e. space vector control, PWMs)

Equation Blocks – quickly include equation based modeling in the system

Spice Model Import – takes advantage of existing models

Physical Based Model Import – incorporates high fidelity finite element and/or

boundary element analysis level models

of electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydraulics, and magnetic models. Models can be exchanged between different simulation tools that adhere to the VHDL-AMS standard ensuring compatibility between software tools and preserving legacy models.

Simulator Performance Technology – Simplorer’s unique simulator

coupling and co-simulation technologies utilize a data exchange backbone, which connect to optimum simulators with numerical algorithms specifically tuned for the multi domain nature of dynamic systems. These technologies allow users to create high fidelity models across multiple domains, at different levels of abstraction, and simulate the entire complex system.

Co-Simulation – C/C++ programs, MATLAB®/Simulink®, ModelSim®,

QuestaSim®, Mathcad® and other specialized programs can be directly integrated into Simplorer. This allows users to utilize customized code and existing feedback/control legacy design. The direct integration of models in their native environment avoids model translation, saves design time and allows communication and model exchange across departments and between suppliers and OEMs.

Device Characterization Tools – Simplorer supports powerful device

and system component characterization tools including IGBT Model generation and DC/DC Converter behavioral modeling. These tools, developed in collaboration with industry leading experts, allow users to easily characterize IGBT’s and DC/DC converters creating behavioral, average, and dynamic models for use in Simplorer.

Co-Simulation and Model Generation

Maxwell, Q3D Extractor, RMxprt, PExprt, HFSS, SIwave, ANSYS Rigid Dynamics, ANSYS Mechanical

Third Party products- MATLAB/Simulink, MathCAD, C/C++, ModelSim, QuestaSim, RTW

Scripting – This powerful feature opens APIs in the Simplorer

environment, allowing Simplorer to be embedded into existing design flows. The scripting capability, including script recording, is language independent so users can work with popular scripting languages, such as Visual Basic®, Java® and interact easily with other tools supporting the Microsoft Com interface.
