TyphoonSim

This section provides a general description of the TyphoonSim software, which is available as both a standalone software and integrated in Typhoon HIL Control Center.

TyphoonSim is a high-speed offline simulator tool. It offers variable-step simulation capabilities, providing flexibility for power stage and control design. TyphoonSim is equipped with state-of-the-art solvers that enable simulation of complex models exhibiting both continuous and discrete dynamics that are described by hybrid differential equations. More details about TyphoonSim solvers and modeling principles can be found in TyphoonSim Solver Engine and Modeling principles.

TyphoonSim is based on Typhoon HIL's Schematic Editor. TyphoonSim uses the same library as real-time/VHIL simulation. Hence, the available component list can be found in Component Library. In the case of TyphoonSim Standalone software, Schematic Editor is the main window for all operations.

The TyphoonSim license is a dedicated license that allows you to use TyphoonSim as both a standalone tool and integrated with your Typhoon HIL Control Center installation. Additional information about how to use and manage licenses within Typhoon HIL Control Center can be found in the License Information documentation. You can find more information and request a TyphoonSim license on our TyphoonSim product page.
