Date
The SIMPLIS Magnetics Design Module (MDM) is a new add-on available for all SIMetrix/SIMPLIS products (Classic, Pro, or Elite) starting with version 8.40. MDM enables the creation of realistic inductor and transformer models from a large, editable, and extendable catalog of standard and customizable components (cores, materials, wires, and bobbins), as well as the calculation detailed and accurate inductor and transformer losses and temperatures. SIMPLIS MDM will be introduced in this two-part webinar. Part I will cover the basics of MDM and demonstrate how MDM can be used to design inductors.
