Probing Deeper into System Response

BALLSTON SPA, N.Y., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Magsoft Corporation announces the release of Portunus V3.1. Portunus is system level simulation software which is developed in cooperation with Adapted Solutions of Chemnitz, Germany and Cedrat of Grenoble, France.

Portunus is a coupled system simulator which allows both analog and digital components. System modeling can include combinations of electrical networks, block diagrams and state machines; all cleanly modeled in cascading sub-sheets.

Portunus comes with a series of analysis types to better fit experimental needs and to insure an accurate solution of transient phenomena at the fastest possible computation times, Portunus simulations now utilize a variable time-step size.

Portunus comes with an extensive set of component libraries to meet the requirements of complex mixed system analysis. These libraries include:

• Passive components
  • Linear and non-linear Resistors, Capacitors and Inductors
  • Lamps, Switches, Relays and Fuses
• Semiconductor components
  • Diodes, Zener Diodes and Thyristors
  • Operational Amplifiers
  • BJT’s, MOSFET’s and MESFET’s
• Block components
  • Integrators and Derivatives
  • Sample and Holds, Sums, Multipliers and Dividers
  • Limiters and Comparators
• Voltage and Current sources
  • Sine wave, Square wave, Triangle wave and PWM
• Power Electronics
  • AC/DC, AC/AC, DC/DC and DC/AC Conversion
  • Transformations
  • Sine wave sources with variable amplitude and frequency
  • Amplitude and frequency Controls
• Mechanics and Electric Machines
  • Rotational and Translational mechanics
  • Transformers
  • DC, Induction and PM Synchronous machines
• Thermal
  • Conduction, Convection, Radiation
  • Heat Sources and Sinks
  • Coupled thermal-electrical models

Portunus now has the flexibility to incorporate user-defined components into the system. These components can be created using C++ programs, non-linear look-up tables, or direct imports of SPICE or VHDL-AMS models.

According to Shep Salon, President of Magsoft Corporation, “Portunus will go a long way towards filling the need for versatile system simulation. Whether an analyst is modeling a simple electrical network, the electromechanical response of a single electric machine, or the full system response of a hybrid vehicle, Portunus will allow them to quickly and easily set up and solve their system, and give them the vital responses they need to assess their ideas.”
