Review on PLECS by Robert Howell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy-to Use Digital Circuit Simulation Software

I like that it can be used to simulate any circuit design, including large ones with many components (hundreds or thousands).

It's easy enough so even nontechnical people could use without much trouble at all! The interface isn't always intuitive; sometimes there are things you have no idea how they work until later in your project when something goes wrong because one was not aware this particular feature existed/was supposed do what exactly? There aren´t too may tutorials online about using Plecs as well either - if anyone wants some help getting started then just send me an email directly :) For example we're simulating power electronics systems which require high current loads but still need low inductance connections between modules due their size constraints etc., plecS has been very useful here since its ability allows us easily create models where these kind requirements would otherwise cause problems / challenges during simulation setup.

Pros
  • Can load test designs before manufacturing them instead making trial runs expensive
