PLECS

What do you like best?

Fastest and accurate simulation. I like the sample examples given in the PLECS. The good thing about the PLECS is that we can use as a standalone tool as well as use with other tools like MATLAB. I was using MATLAB during my master's program. For the complex simulation, its bit slow so my supervisor refer me to use PLECS and we bought a PLECS license and I started using it. Its really fast and I can run complex simulation so within a few seconds using PLECS.

PLESC has a lot of built-in models and we can use them for the power electronics simulation thereby reducing the time to develop the model.PLECS is overall a good software has a lots of features and functionalities such as integration with MATLAB, Add-on PLECS Coder, Add-on PLECS PIL, Hardware for Real-Time Simulations. Apart from that the webinar and PLECS model of the moths are amazing. I would definitely recommend PLECS to the one who is aspirant to simulate any power electronics product

What do you dislike?

There is nothing about dislikes. I've not aware of the DSP code generation using PLECS. It would be great if it can do that as well. Also, controller design could be added.

-I think its more expensive for a normal user to use it.

-others are fine. I've talked about PLECS RT box during my conference visit and its a wonderful product, however, for students who want to use the systems is a bit expensive.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

PLECS is a powerful tool to simulate power electronics circuits. I definitely recommend PLECS

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I've used PLESC to build SST during my PhD. There are many example models that have helped me to build my project simulation. I am still using as a simulation tool for power electronics.

This us a fastest simulation tools I've experienced so far. One important benefits of using PLECS is that it can be embedded in MATLAB/Simulink.

-So far I've not come across any problem during my simulation using PLECS.
