11.1.7 / August 2018; 7 months ago ( 2018-08) Website PSIM is an software package, designed specifically for use in and but can be used to simulate any. Developed by Powersim, PSIM uses and the integration as the basis of its simulation algorithm. PSIM provides a schematic capture interface and a waveform viewer Simview. PSIM has several modules that extend its functionality into specific areas of circuit simulation and design including:,, and PSIM is used by industry for research and product development and it is used by educational institutions for research and teaching.
Contents • • • • • Modules [ ] PSIM has various add on modules, the full list and their descriptions can be found on the Powersim. There are modules that enable motor drive simulation,, and the calculation of thermal losses due to switching and conduction.
There is a renewable energy module which allows for the simulation of photovoltaics (including temperature effects), batteries,, and wind turbines. Additionally there are several modules which allow co-simulation with other platforms to verify or code or to co simulate with an program. The programs that PSIM currently co-simulates with are:,,. PSIM currently supports automatic generation with the SimCoder Module and will output c-code for use with F2833x and F2803x and point from the.
With PSIM version 10.0.4, PSIM has support for Kinetis V series MCU. In addition, PSIM’s Processor-In-Loop simulation or PIL Module wasto control a PSIM simulation with code that is executing on a TI DSP or MCU.
Comparison with SPICE [ ] PSIM has a much faster simulation speed than based simulators based on its usage of the ideal switch. With the additional Digital and SimCoupler Modules almost any kind of logic algorithm can be simulated. Since PSIM uses ideal switches the simulated waveforms will reflect this, making PSIM more suited for system level studies rather than switching transition studies.
Additionally, PSIM has a simplified interface compared to other simulators and as a result has a more intuitive interface. And Level 2 models were added in the version 10 release. These models allow the simulation of the switch transition, reverse recovery effects, and gate drive circuitry. 
The advantage being that PSIM would then have the flexibility to be able to run based models and net-lists. Licensing [ ] There are various licensing options available for PSIM. There is a which does not expire but is limited in component count and allowed circuit complexity. The version allows for the simulation of less complex circuits for a reduced cost. PowerSim does have educational, some are free, for institutions to address simulation requirements for research and for teaching.
