Introduction

PLECS is a unique tool for the fast simulation of electrical circuits within the Simulink® environment. Although specially designed for power electronics systems it is a versatile program for any combined simulation of electrical circuits and controls.
Whether you are a developer or researcher in industry or academia, PLECS will speed up the design and analysis of your electrical system. Users will also profit from the intuitive user interface and the fast and accurate simulation.

As you start a simulation the electric circuit is converted on the fly into a set of equivalent equations. The equations are solved along with the Simulink model. This tight integration gives you the full benefit of Simulink's powerful simulation engine. Simulink's zero-crossing detector is employed to ensure that switching instants are hit with machine precision.
