CASPOC Features
- Extended library blocks for power electronics and drive systems
- Library of electrical machine models, including mechanical system, rotating and translating, shafts, gearboxes, springs, bearings and friction models
- Advanced library for AC motor control (see Advanced Electrical Drives, DeDoncker TU Aachen) including field oriented control, DTC and sensorless control
- Extensive library for modeling sustainable green energy, such as wind turbines, solar modules, maximum power point trackers, grid converters, electric vehicles, battery and fuel cells
- Models for temperature dependent power electronics semiconductors, including loss calculation
- Math blocks for any function evaluation and vector signals for AC motor control
- Replay of the simulation results for failure modes and further investigation - any point in time can be traced back and the state of the simulation at that point in time can be observed, including the animation, signals and state animation inside hierarchical models
- Animation of the schematic showing full current path
- Animated symbols on customized library blocks
- Easy setting of parameters for all components
- Interface with Data Acquisition board
- Interface with INTEGRATED’s programs
- User compiled C/C++ code via dll
- Export of the C code from the control system models
- Optimized C code export, independent use on any type of microcontroller or DSP, C code export for the fixed point TI QMATH Library
- Notes and figures can be added to the schematic
- Ability to create scripts to run CASPOC in batch mode
- Parameter sweep for any component parameter
- Bode diagram for any system to identify stability, impedance and audio susceptibility. Gain/phase margin, bandwidth for any type of power electronics - no averaging models are required
- Project management data can be stored with the simulation project
- Archive function to archive the entire project with one click
- Many samples on power electronics, electrical drives and sustainable energy are already pre-programmed
CASPOC "Standard" version is the most basic, yet fully functional version of CASPOC; this version is not limited in nodes and blocks.
Users can work on the examples included in the package or create their own models, performing simulations and animations with speed and flexibility. The Standard version includes samples, a tutorial, libraries and over 850 pages of help, online or in a CD-ROM.
- Replay of animation and simulation results
- Rotational and translational components
- Electrical machine library
- Small-signal analysis for every type of switched mode power supply, even resonant converters
- Coupling to Simulink
- Non-linear components
- C-script to create user defined blocks
- Improved user interface and project manager
The high-end "Professional" version offers extended features, including the coupling to various analysis tools, and supports embedded C code export. It also allows users to run scripts to optimize designs.
- Optimization through C-script language. Multiple simulations can be performed once the parameters are set
- Export to Spice
- Optimized export of embedded C code for microcontroller design
- Typecast block for creating Fixed-Point simulations
