Abstract
A computer-implemented method for simulating an electrical circuit via at least one computing unit, the electrical circuit comprising circuit components with switch elements, wherein the switch elements are capable of assuming either a conductive or a blocking switched state, wherein the circuit is described by a mathematical representation MR and the circuit for each total switched state is calculated on the computing unit by numerically solving the mathematical representation MR describing the total switched state.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method for simulating an electrical circuit via at least one computing unit, the method comprising:
- providing the electrical circuit with circuit components with switch elements capable of assuming either a conductive or a blocking switched state;
- describing the circuit using a mathematical representation and the circuit for each total switched state being calculated on the computing unit by numerically solving the mathematical representation which describes the total switched state;
- representing a conductive switch element in the circuit by a switch coil;
- representing a blocking switch element in the circuit by a switch capacitor;
- describing the electrical behavior of switch coil and switch capacitor by structurally identical, time-discrete switch equations so that using the structurally identical time-discrete switch equations for the switch elements results in a switched state-independent, time-discrete state space representation H, ϕ, Cd, Dd for all total switched states of the circuit;
- and
- performing the simulation on the computing unit based on the switched state-independent, time-discrete state space representation H, ϕ, Cd, Dd for all total switched states of the circuit.
