Altair PSIM 2022.3.0

PSIM-HyperSpice link
- With PSIM-HyperSpice link, the transient, AC, and DC Spice operations can be performed in PSIM environment.
- PSIM can generate a HyperSpice netlist based on the schematic.
- PSIM can pass the netlist to HyperSpice, and initiate the simulation.
- PSIM calls the HyperSpice DLL at each time step and receives simulation results from HyperSpice.
- Upon completion of the simulation, simulation results are displayed in SIMVIEW


PSIM-Embed Wrapper for DSP Code Generation
PSIM-Embed Wrapper generates a DLL block for controller implementations inside PSIM and export it to Embed so that user can generate target code for any DSP/Micro devices that Embed supports.


New OML Functions for PSIM-Compose Interface
- PsimSimulate: This command runs a single simulation (with parameters) and returns the graph.
- PsimASimulate: This command runs run multiple simulations simultaneously (each in a separate thread - with parameters) and returns the graphs.
- PsimIsSubcircuit: This command checks if a schematic file is subcircuit.
- PsimReadGraphFile: This command reads a graph file and returns the curves in the form of arrays of numbers that can be plotted or further modified in Compose.
- PsimWriteGraphFile: This command writes curves in the form of arrays of numbers to a graph file. The file extension determines the file format.
- PsimSimview: This command opens Simview and displays a number of graphs with options for the X and Y axis and an option for FFT
