I just read this article http://powerelectronics.com/power_manag ... ndex1.html.
I was very intrigued with this lines:
A virtual prototype accelerates and improves a complex system development and design process."The inverter-circuit simulation is done using a special tool kit, developed in Russia, called a virtual prototype[/i][/b] (Fig. 3).
Unlike SPICE-type simulation tools, this method does not suffer from multiple limitations.
Virtual prototype is extremely realistic, because it includes all parts and aspects of the real system operation rather than a simplified model of a small part of the entire system.
All electrical, magnetic, thermal, mechanical and other physical phenomena in the real complex system that operation is based on can be organically included into the virtual prototype."
I tried and tried to find out what is the correct name of that fantastic Russian software, but with no results. Can anyone help me with this? Please? I think it is not "Virtual prototyping" but something else.
