"Good software for PE simulations. Specially good in thermal modelling"
4/5
What do you like best about PLECS?

Best thing about PLECS is therm modelling allowing you to get a good approximation to real results and different operation points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PLECS?

Missing a little bit of data management from simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PLECS review"
2.5/5
What do you like best about PLECS?

The simplicity of setting up basic calculations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PLECS?

From when I've seen, the inability to use vendor specific models. I've transferred to PSPICE instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great simulation tool for power electronics"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PLECS?

I was using PLECS to simulate the losses and control algorithms in power converters. PLECS so far is one of the best tools I have used for power electronic simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PLECS?

The user interface sometimes is small for me to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and very useful to gain insight to circuits"
5/5
What do you like best about PLECS?

Very easy to use. I used it first in my Masters and immediately was able to get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PLECS?

I believe some things like finding the right circuit components could be organised better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Please for control design"
5/5
What do you like best about PLECS?

It is simple and there are plenty of demo Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PLECS?

1. Documentation for microcontroller integration can be improved

2. Calculation of switching losses and dealing with non ideal passive components is difficult. Would be nice if it was similar to Lt spice where one can choose real components and switches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
