Hello Circuit Designers,

The most-feature rich and application-oriented release of NI Multisim and NI Ultiboard is already out and it brings good news to circuit designers in different application areas.

One main application area Multisim 12 addresses is the power electronics field.

For a long time, analog designers developing power electronics and electromechanical circuitry worked separately from digital coders deploying digital logic and FPGA code. The first time these designs met is at the hardware prototype stage were many design inconsistencies are discovered and many prototype re-runs are performed to achieve the desired performance specifications.

Now, with Multisim 12 and LabVIEW 2011, engineers working on power electronics, energy applications, and electromechanical designs can perform accurate desktop point-by-point simulation of their analog and digital designs. An unparalleled design solution by NI Multisim and NI LabVIEW using the newly added co-simulation feature in Multisim 12.

Multisim and LabVIEW system co-simulation capabilities along with the new models added for power electronics components such as PWM controllers, Silicon Controlled Rectifiers, Reconfigurable RLCs and Transformers, and Machine and Motor models help engineers optimize their circuit design performance at the desktop simulation level.

We are very excited about this long awaited feature, and looking forward to hear back about your success story using it so keep circulating your feedback!

Enjoy,

Mahmoud
