ANSYS Rigid Body Dynamics tools coupled with SimplorerEngineers around the world develop the most complex multidomain,multitechnology designs using advanced Simplorer functionality.Courtesy Delphi Electronics &Safety Systems.Multidomain, Multitechnology CapabilitiesSimplorer’s multiple modeling techniques allowyou to work at the circuit, block diagram, statemachine or equation level. You can render thesesimulations using several modeling languages,including IEEE standard (1076.1) VHDL-AMS,Simplorer modeling language (SML) and C/C .VHDL-AMS provides continuous time- and eventdriven modeling semantics for mixed-signal andmultidomain systems, so it is suitable for analog,digital and analog/digital circuits. It also handlessystems that include a combination of electrical,mechanical, thermal, hydraulic and magneticmodels. Our tools facilitate easy model exchangebetween different simulation tools that adhere tothe VHDL-AMS standard; at the same time, theyensure compatibility between software tools andpreserve legacy models.You can use different languages concurrentlyfor modeling analog, digital and mixed-signaldesigns. This flexibility eliminates the need for themathematical transformations and model analogiesoften used by single-domain simulation tools,which can introduce errors.Physics-Based ModelingFor system component models that require thehighest level of accuracy, Simplorer provides adirect link to other ANSYS industry-leading3electromagnetic field simulation software packages: Maxwell, Q3D Extractor, RMxprt, PExprt,HFSS and SIwave as well as ANSYS Icepak , ANSYSRigid Dynamics and ANSYS Mechanical products.The coupling technology and model reductiontechniques give you the capability to incorporatedetailed physics-based models within Simplorer.Statistical Analysis and OptimizationSimplorer includes capabilities for parametric,optimization, sensitivity, statistical and tuninganalysis. These advancements mean that you canoptimize your design based on a set of performancemeasurement criteria and provide insight intodesign variations and trade-offs. The Simplorerstatistical analysis feature fully integrates the SAEVHDL-AMS statistical package.Device Characterization ToolsOur software supports powerful device and systemcomponent characterization tools, including IGBTmodel generation and DC DC converter behavioralmodeling. Developed in collaboration withindustry-leading experts, the tools aid in creatingbehavioral, average and dynamic models foruse in Simplorer.

Simplorer includes a powerful IGBT characterization tool that can create behavioral,average and dynamic models of these critical devices.Codesign SupportSmooth Design FlowSimplorer’s powerful environment allows youto develop virtual prototypes that you can shareamong hardware and software design groups,making it possible to emulate hardware andsimulate the software. Simplorer libraries can beshared between different users over a network,expanding codesign opportunities.Simplorer’s powerful scripting feature opens APIsin the Simplorer environment so you can embedSimplorer into existing design flows. The scriptingcapability, including script recording, is languageindependent, so it works with popular scriptinglanguages such as Visual Basic and Java . It alsointeracts easily with other tools supporting theMicrosoft interface.To customize code, you can integrate your C/C ,MATLAB /Simulink , ModelSim , QuestaSim ,Mathcad and other specialized code directly intoSimplorer. This direct integration of models in theirnative environments avoids model translation,saves design time, and fosters communication andmodel exchange across departments as well asbetween suppliers and OEMs.Distributed AnalysisSix sigma analysis, statistical analysis andparametric studies often require many largesimulations. Simplorer leverages availablecomputing power across your network withdistributed analysis options for fast turnaroundof the largest variations.4

Add ANSYS PExprt to your power electronics simulation toolkit to design,analyze and optimize transformers and inductors.ANSYS PExprt uses a combination of classicaland finite element analysis (FEA) techniquesto evaluate performance and power efficiencyin transformers and inductors used in powerelectronic applications. Specifically, the tooldetermines components’ appropriate core size andshape, air gaps, and winding strategy for optimalreliability and performance or other user-specifiedcriteria. PExprt provides unique insight intodesign issues such as gap energy, current densityin windings, leakage flux (leakage inductance),winding capacitance, proximity and skin effects,interleaving, and integrated windings. Thisspecialized software provides Simplorer with thedetailed models it needs to simulate magnetic andthermal effects in the complete design.PExprt is ideal for use in designing automotiveand aerospace converters, switch-mode powersupplies, and electronic ballasts. You can quicklycalculate all possible combinations of core size,core material, wire gauge, turns and gap lengththat satisfy user-supplied electrical specifications.The resulting virtual designs are then refined andoptimized to predict effects such as magnetizingand leakage inductance, interwinding capacitance,peak flux density, DC winding resistance, eddycurrent effects and core loss.5SMPS Model LibrarySimplorer’s switched mode power supply (SMPS)model library provides predefined power electroniccircuit topologies and related control algorithmsfor the design of power converters and powersystems. The DC DC characterization tool createsdetailed models of the DC DC converter based onvendor data sheets, so these blocks can then beused in system-level power distribution topologystudies, sizing and stability analyses.
