Review on PLECS by Michael Radhakrishnan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool especially useful during development stage

I like that this program has many different options to choose from, it's easy enough for anyone with basic knowledge in computer programming (C/ C++ or Python) can use without any problem! It also allows you to test multiple scenarios at once by using several inputs which makes testing your circuit easier than having one huge input file where all possible combinations are included. The lack of documentation could be improved but overall i think its still good software if used correctly. If someone wants an open source simulation platform then they should definitely consider trying out pplesc since there isn't much competition right now when compared side by side against other simulators such as matlab Simulink etc.. Simulation accuracy will vary depending upon what type of components being simulated however most people don't realize how accurate their model actually needs to be before writing code so therefore my advice would just try some simple.
