Back then we developed the first functional version of the app enabling the user to create basic electric circuits. We started working on this application from preparing a prototype for the client.

We were working closely with OPAL-RT representatives, we had meetings and workshops both in Poland and Canada. We rolled up our sleeves and begun learning power electronics industry so that we could easily understand the client’s needs and the application value to the business. It spans the gulf from industrial power transmission and distribution to the micro-design and testing of chips and circuits for electrical aircraft and boats, for example. It is very important to test every solution before releasing it in order to avoid needless risk and wastage.įrom the very beginning, we knew that the subject of this project was difficult but it didn’t discourage us. OPAL-RT operates in power electronics which is a demanding and complex field. They were selling it together with expensive external companies’ software, but they decided to create their own competitive solution. OPAL-RT – the company which owns Schematic Editor – offers a complete environment for simulating electric circuits. This way the engineer is able to change the operating conditions and do some maneuvers on the car to see the response of the controller and see if the logic implemented in the controller is working well. Then she or he can simulate it with OPAL-RT simulator connected to the real controller. For example, an engineer can model a controller for the electrical car, using Schematic Editor. The users can try out their solution without the need of having the real plant system.


Then the client’s simulator enables them to test this model with real-equipment connected to the emulated world. OPAL-RT’s Schematic Editor allows the users to develop power electronic model of a real system. Many engineering interfaces used for this diagramming or modeling are built with restrictive specifications in mind, or perhaps not much thought is given to their interfaces and user experience at all.

Since many systems are pre-existing or based on their analog predecessors, they must be re-designed, or diagrammed, in order to be tested. The main idea of industrial simulation is duplicating a system and then testing that system exhaustively – as though it were the real thing. Let us show you how it simplifies and optimizes engineers’ workflows in power electronics. That is what we allow the users to do with Schematic Editor – a circuit diagramming application – which we’re developing with our client. However, before simulating some electrical system, you need to model it. Such solutions are able to solve complex problems in less time. Simulation tools help engineers designing and improving the electrical systems.
