  • Stator and rotor resistances can be modified on-the-fly
      • ​Define resistance values through Signal Processing inputs
  • Available for the Three Phase Squirrel Cage Induction Machine

ISO 15118 EVSE – DC charging update

ISO15118-2 communication protocol for DC Combined Charging Systems

  • Simulation of ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-3
    • Digital communication protocol between electric vehicles (EVs) and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) – Supply Equipment Communication Controller (SECC) side
  • Allows EV, DC fast-charging (DCFC), and AC smart charging tests
  • Added support for Signal Level Attenuation Characterization (SLAC) protocol for Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) communication
  • Adjustable EVSE charge parameters in the component properties

ISO 15118 EV – AC charging update

ISO15118-2 communication protocol for AC Combined Charging Systems

  • Simulation of ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-3
    • Digital communication protocol between EVs and EVSE – Electric Vehicle Communication Controller (EVCC) side
  • Allows EVSE, DCFC and AC smart charging tests
  • Added support for SLAC protocol for PLC communication
  • Adjustable EV charge parameters in the component properties

Signal access management

Additional protections for your IP when sharing libraries

  • Restrict access to selected signals in locked components directly in your schematic
  • Motivated by original equipment manufacturers’ (OEM) needs to hide certain signals in shared libraries from end users
  • Protect against intellectual property (IP) leakage
  • Protected signals are still accessible to OEMs for library development and maintenance​

Enhanced resolution Dual Active Bridge solver

Model high-frequency DC-DC chargers

  • FPGA block that provides fast calculation of Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter topologies with 50 ns resolution
    • DAB solver resolution not dependent on the simulation step of the rest of the circuit
  • Specially designed to fulfill the needs of high frequency DC-DC charger application
  • Available for some configurations on 4th generation devices

Virtual signals

Generate your own Capture signals with Python

  • Generate new Capture signals using your own Python functions
  • New signals can be created by applying functions to the captured signals and used for offline analysis
  • Save real-time resources by utilizing standard Python analytical modules (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, and math)

Auto-connection of schematic items

Build your model even faster

  • Beta version from the previous release completely reworked
  • Single shortcut for both the power electronics and signal processing parts of the model
  • Allows for many new types of connections:
    • component to wires;
    • component to junctions;
    • terminal-shorting;
    • proximity-based.
