I sent a lot of tech support requests...read excellent advice and caveats...but that does not cook rice, as they say in Korean! It is hard for me to believe that the videos posted and examples cited are carried out with simulations taking hrs and hrs...mine took 3 hrs to do the outer voltage loop estimates from 10 Hz to 5kHz. Sampling time was.2 usec for a converter switching at 50 kHz. Anything less gives awful results. It is certainly the calculations from 10 Hz on to several hundred Hz at 200ns rate that take all this time. Why not post in the examples/ videos run times ...caveat that with the machine on which it was run? It is totally impractical to maintain that the tools cannot be predicted to be run fast, no matter the complexity of the problem at hand. I wish there was a "tool" that could grind through a model & give out in a scheduled simulation times with computing machine parameters! Those that are referenced in tech support documents really do not come close to such clarity. In short, the question of great importance to us: what to do to reduce simulation times to <few minutes from 180 min so that the entire system can be modeled, optimized, retuned & then taken to embedded coder stage for coding. This will bring up totally other realtime run issues...and we need to hurry! Can someone give examples of simulating Active_PFC or any other model through PID Estimates/tuning from 10Hz to 10kHz or 15 kHz in less than a few minutes?..Whatever the machine, toolbox selected to achieve that is what we are looking to test with It is a fact that we always have to be carried on the shoulders of giants so we can see far out there with possibilities... Hoping to hear from someone. robin
