Plexim Plecs 4.8.2

The software developer Plexim is pleased to announce the availability of PLECS Standalone 4.8.2 is an autonomous software package for time-domain simulation of power electronic systems.

Version 4.8 – February 2, 2024

- The PLECS Coder now supports code generation for targets with multiple processors.
- PLECS now supports fixed-point data types to facilitate code generation for targets that do not support floating-point data types.
- The Thermal Package Description now lets you characterize the thermal coupling between individual semiconductors with an impedance matrix.
- PLECS now lets you choose between the classic light color theme and a new dark color theme designed to work well in a low-lit environment.
- Selected power modules have been enhanced to support thermal simulations both in the "Switched" and "Sub-cycle average" configuration.
- The improved error reporting using spotlights makes it easier to identify the erroneous components. In case of parameter evaluation errors, clickable links take you directly to the corresponding dialog box to fix the problem.
- PLECS will now detect sample time conflicts between continuous and discrete blocks to help users avoid typical modelling mistakes.
- PLECS now supports model references into the same model file.
- PLECS now fully supports self-referencing libraries. In prior releases, self-references were permitted only if the library reference appeared after the original subsystem in the model file.
- You can now limit the number of parallel computation threads that PLECS Standalone will use for an individual analysis or for the execution of parallel simulations or analyses.
- PLECS now removes state-space equations for unused physical meters in order to avoid unnecessary calculations.


PLECS Standalone is an autonomous software package for time-domain simulation of power electronic systems. If independence from other simulation platforms is important, PLECS Standalone provides the all-in-one solution for modeling complex electrical circuits and sophisticated controls in a single environment. Due to its optimized engine, PLECS Standalone runs much faster than PLECS Blockset. With the comprehensive block library, PLECS Standalone offers a cost-effective yet powerful solution for dynamic system simulation in general.

Introduction to PLECS Standalone


This tutorial video provides an introduction to PLECS Standalone. The highlights of the video are using the schematic editor and component library, and modeling a simple DC/DC converter, first with an open-loop controller, and then close the loop with a hysteresis type controller. The resulting waveforms are then viewed in the PLECS Scope.
Plexim, with locations in Zurich and Boston, is an innovative software company active in the field of technical simulation. For 20 years we have successfully developed and marketed PLECS – the leading simulation software for power electronic systems and electrical drives. In addition, we offer automatic code generation and real-time systems as pioneering technologies for the development and test of controls.
