PSIM on Autopilot: Exploring Different Ways to Automate Your Power Electronics Simulations

Thursday, September 11, 2025, | 10.00 am-11:00 am Eastern Time

In this session, you’ll gain practical insights into scripting-based and scripting-free approaches that can help accelerate your simulation workflows and decision-making.
We'll explore the three scripting-based methods:

C Language – The classic, legacy automation method in PSIM
Python – Widely adopted and great for custom processing
Altair Compose (OML) – A matrix-based language ideal for numerical computing and data analysis

One scripting-free method:

Altair HyperStudy – A platform for design exploration, optimization, and simulation automation without the need to write code

And remember…
💡 Instead of concentrating all your efforts on a single high-fidelity simulation, you can now explore trends to drive actionable decisions.

Whether you're optimizing inverter losses or comparing topologies, this session will demonstrate how automation can transform the way you design and validate power electronic systems. This live session will focus on hands-on tool demonstrations, ensuring an engaging experience.

PSIM Troubleshooting,Tips and Tricks

Thursday, October 9, 2025, | 10.00 am-11:00 am Eastern Time

Join us in this webinar to learn the best techniques to troubleshoot and build PSIM schematics, along with some tips and tricks to make simulations faster and well-behaved!

We’ll cover the following topics:

AC Sweeps - How to set them up? What can I do if my result looks weird?
Digital and Analog control - My controller is not working, what can I do to figure out the cause?
Thermal Module Simulations - I get errors with my thermal model, what is wrong?
Time Step and Simulation Flags - Can I make my simulations run faster?

Seamless Controller Hardware in the-Loop (C-HIL) with PSIM and Typhoon HIL

Thursday, November 13, 2025, | 10.00 am-11:00 am Eastern Time

This webinar demonstrates a controller hardware-in-the-loop (C-HIL) workflow tailored for LLC resonant converter applications using PSIM and Typhoon HIL.

You will learn how to:

Accurately model and simulate LLC resonant converters in PSIM
Control design strategies
Export controller code directly from PSIM to TI Target
Run real-time C-HIL tests on Typhoon HIL platforms without physical hardware

This integrated workflow enables fast development, risk-free controller validation, and accelerated testing cycles for high-frequency resonant topologies like LLC — ideal for EV chargers, telecom supplies, and data center applications.

Verifying and Simulating Embedded C for Power Converters

Thursday, December 11, 2025, | 10.00 am-11:00 am Eastern Time

This webinar will demonstrate how to insert a compilation ready embedded project in an IDE like code composer studio, CCS, and simulate how it functions along with the a simulation of the power hardware in PSIM. Methods will be introduced to abstract or replicate the functionality of the PWM, ADC, interrupt timers, that is the peripherals of the MCU, while using #define statements to remove segments or functions of code that are not compatible with simulation.

The objective is to use a simple #define simulation or #define embedded as the only change necessary to have the code run cleanly in simulation vs compiled and deployed on the target.
