TyphoonSim
Offline Simulator
Never re-draw your schematic. Ever again.
TyphoonSim
TyphoonSim is Typhoon HIL’s high-speed offline simulator built for power electronics design with variable-step capabilities and genuine model continuity. Design your circuit once and carry the same model through offline simulation, control validation, and real-time HIL testing. No schematic redraws. No toolchain switching. No lost time.
Standalone Tool or Integrated with THCC
TyphoonSim works as a standalone offline simulator or fully integrated inside Typhoon HIL Control Center (THCC) — letting your team switch between simulation scenarios without leaving the toolchain. One environment for offline design, control validation, and real-time HIL testing.
One model, one environment
Build once in TyphoonSim. Deploy the same model directly to Typhoon HIL hardware — no migration, no rewriting, no lost work.
Free for academia
Full-featured unlimited licenses for professors, students, and research institutions. No cost, no dongles, no credit card.
Built for power electronics
Variable-step simulation purpose-built for converter topologies, motor drives, and switching behavior — not adapted from general-purpose tools.
Integrates with your toolchain
Native Python and MATLAB support. Integrated inside THCC. Works with the tools your team already uses.

- Native Python integration for test automation and scripting
Free courses, examples, and teaching-ready content on HIL Academy
Industrial power electronics teams face a familiar bottleneck: models built for offline design can’t be reused for HIL testing, forcing engineers to maintain multiple versions of the same circuit across different tools. TyphoonSim eliminates that bottleneck. Build once in TyphoonSim’s offline environment, then transition the same model directly to Typhoon HIL hardware — no rewrites, no toolchain switching, no rework. TyphoonSim offers several key benefits:
- Carry one model from offline design through real-time HIL testing — no rebuilds
- Integrate with existing toolchains including Python, MATLAB, and CI/CD pipelines
- Eliminate the cost and risk of maintaining parallel models across tools
- Offering an offline, variable-step simulator that provides full flexibility for power stage and control design.
Ready for hardware? Take Your TyphoonSim Model to Real-Time HIL.
The same model you build in TyphoonSim deploys directly to Typhoon HIL hardware — no migration, no rewriting, no lost work. The HIL101 is our entry-level simulator, purpose-built for academic labs and engineers making their first move from offline simulation to real-time HIL testing.
Learning Simulation in a Lab
TyphoonSim has transformed the way my students and I explore power electronics in the lab. The high-speed offline simulator with variable-step capabilities allows my students to seamlessly transition between different stages of their projects without redrawing schematics. The intuitive, user-friendly GUI and comprehensive toolchain empower my students to explore and experiment with confidence, significantly enhancing their learning experience – it has been a game-changer for research and teaching in my lab.
