Introduction

This 12-hour training course explores the basics of how to use the Python programming language in SIMBA. By combining the power of Python with the fast and accurate simulation solver of SIMBA, engineers can streamline their workflow, achieve accurate results, and enhance their converter designs like never before.

Objective

Participants will gain proficiency in Python and learn how to leverage its features to enhance converter design workflows.

By the end of this training, power electronics engineers will have a solid foundation in Python programming and a deep understanding of SIMBA’s capabilities. They will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to harness Python’s power and integrate it with SIMBA for efficient power electronics simulation and converter design.

Audience

This course is intended for power electronics engineers with little or no experience with Python.

Methodology

The training is divided into 3 parts and maximum time will be allocated to hands-on work:

Part 1: Get Started with Python

Part 2: What is SIMBA?

Part 3: Get started with SIMBA Python Library
