Simetrix-simplis-elite-8-20l -

is a specialized, high-performance simulation suite designed for power electronics engineers who need to model complex switching power supplies and analog circuits with extreme speed and accuracy. Core Architecture: A Dual-Engine Approach

They offer a structured online training course that covers everything from basic schematic entry to advanced DVM automation.

The "Elite" version provides the full power of two distinct simulation engines: simetrix-simplis-elite-8-20l

Built specifically for switching power systems. Unlike SPICE, it models components as a series of linear segments, allowing it to find the "Periodic Steady State" of a switching power supply in seconds rather than hours.

Essential for manufacturing, these tools help you understand how component tolerances (like a 5% resistor variance) will impact your final product's performance. Practical Workflow Tips Unlike SPICE, it models components as a series

For IC-level design (transistor-level), stick to SIMetrix . For system-level power supply design (converters, inverters), SIMPLIS is your primary tool. Learning Resources

The Elite tier often includes advanced digital interfaces, allowing you to simulate mixed-signal designs by linking the analog engines with Verilog-HDL or Verilog-A models. For system-level power supply design (converters

The software includes a "Simplis Intro" and "SIMetrix Intro" in the Help menu which are surprisingly thorough.
