"PLECS® tools can be applied to many disciplines of Power Electronics engineering. Conceived with a top-down approach in mind"


Above mentioned are few simulation tools available, are plenty of them out there.

Note: Freeware are version for student and teacher, when you get familiar with it you could become a potential user/customer, at the end there is nothing real free.
