Engineers choose PSIM for its total ease-of-use driven by its intuitive user interface. Even with no prior experience, a fast learning curve means easy implementation and seamless adoption in any research environment. Our friendly graphics feature keep visuals clean and uncluttered, and a built-in C compiler lets you easily enter and test your custom C code.

PSIM’s comprehensive component and control blocks library let you easily set up and simulate even complex systems. This vast online resource collection allows you to attain the type of help you need on your own terms and when you need it.

PSIM is an Electronic circuit simulation software package, designed specifically for use in power electronics and motor drive simulations but can be used to simulate any electronic circuit. Developed by Powersim, PSIM uses nodal analysis and the trapezoidal rule 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: control theory,electric motors, photovoltaics and wind turbines PSIM is used by industry for research and product development and it is used by educational institutions for research and teaching.

PSIM has various add on modules, the full list and their descriptions can be found on the Powersim website. There are modules that enable motor drive simulation, digital control, and the calculation of thermal losses due to switching and conduction.[7] There is a renewable energy module which allows for the simulation of photovoltaics (including temperature effects), batteries, supercapacitor, and wind turbines. Additionally there are several modules which allow co-simulation with other platforms to verify VHDL or Verilog code or to co simulate with an FEA program. The programs that PSIM currently co-simulates with are: Simulink, JMAG, and ModelSim.

PSIM currently supports automatic c-code generation with the SimCoder Module and will output c-code for use with Texas Instruments F2833x and F2803x floating and fixed point digital signal processors from the C2000 series. With PSIM version 10.0.4, PSIM has support for Freescale Semiconductor Kinetis V series MCU.

In addition, PSIM’s Processor-In-Loop simulation or PIL Module was added in version 10.0.4. The Module allows users to control a PSIM simulation with code that is executing on a TI DSP or MCU.
