Intusoft Releases Mechatronics SPICE Model Library for Advanced Simulation

Strategic Insights -

Intusoft's Mechatronics SPICE Model Library marks a significant milestone in the field of simulation, providing a comprehensive set of models for mechanical, hydraulic, motor, and mixed-technology applications. This library enhances the capabilities of Intusoft's native analog and mixed-mode SPICE 3-based simulator, ICAP/4 version 8.1.4, for Windows 95 and NT. With its advanced behavioral modeling capabilities, users can now view, edit, understand, and modify the models without relying on proprietary AHDL models. The library includes a wide range of models, such as motors, spark gaps, pumps, and valves, making it an essential tool for the simulation of automotive and other physical systems. Key features of the library include:

Key Takeaways:

  • The Mechatronics SPICE Model Library is the first SPICE 3-based library containing comprehensive models for mechanical, hydraulic, motor, and mixed-technology applications.
  • The library is compatible with Intusoft's native analog and mixed-mode SPICE 3-based simulator, ICAP/4 version 8.1.4, for Windows 95 and NT.
  • The library includes 127 models, including electromechanical actuators, electrohydraulic actuators, mechanical models, sensors, non-linear mathematical blocks, translational mechanics models, rotational and mixed rotational/translations mechanics models, planar mechanical models, and hydraulic models.
  • The library is priced at $1,495 ($US) and is available for download on the Intusoft website.
  • Intusoft's Vice President of Product Development, Charles Hymowitz, stated that the new models are based on Intusoft's IsSpice4's advanced behavioral modeling capabilities, making it unnecessary to code the models in AHDL.
  • The library has been designed to enable users to simulate a wide range of applications, including automotive systems, aerospace, biomedical, and military applications.
