With the new Python integration with SIMetrix/SIMPLIS, anything that can be done with the proprietary SIMetrix script language can now be completed using the powerful and more familiar Python language.
Python can now be used to: 1. Open and edit schematics 2. Run a simulation using either SIMetrix Spice or SIMPLIS simulators 3. Obtain the data from the simulation 4. Post process the simulation results 5. Plot graphs in the SIMetrix environment from Python data
We demonstrate this use of Python to illustrate an expanded capacity to predict MOSFET switching losses for GaN and SiC devices in SIMPLIS. The MOSFET model extraction process in SIMPLIS now accommodates four-terminal MOSFET packages that include parasitic package inductances.
