Mechatronic SPICE Model Library

For customers who have purchased software from Intusoft, a specialized SPICE model library is available that contains "Mechatronic" devices: i.e., mechanical, electro-mechanical and hydraulic functions. The Mechatronic library enables you to simulate mixed technology design that contains both non-electrical and electrical devices. A variety of models are included in the collection such as motors, spark gaps, actuators, pumps and valves. These are used in the simulation of automotive, machinery, robotics and other engineering systems. Given IsSpice4's advanced behavioral modeling capability, coding of the new models in an AHDL is not necessary. Most models in the library are created with multiple levels of complexity. This allows you to select the appropriate model features of interest and thus maximize simulation efficiency.

Mechantronic models are compatible with Intusoft's IsSpice4 simulator, but the collection is beta software and is not entirely supported. Outside of purchasing Intusoft's Test Designer product, a non-disclosure agreement must be signed to receive the Mechantronic library, and is only available for customers who have purchased ICAP/4Windows or a higher-end ICAP/4 offering. Technical support is not officially provided for Mechantronic models. Libary listing for Mechatronic Models (.pdf or txt).
