You are now following this Submission

A pedagogical tool for simulating bidirectional device behavior, breakover voltage dynamics, and automated laboratory report generation.
Detailed Description:
  • Static & Dynamic Visualization: Simulates symmetrical triggering, negative resistance, and "Snap-back" regions.
  • Physics-Based Interaction: Real-time calculation of $V_{BO}$ reduction as a function of temperature and gate input.
  • Educational Reporting: Features a built-in function to export a full PDF Lab Report with student details and a post-lab quiz.
  • Phase Control: Synchronized visualization of the firing angle ($\alpha$) and its effect on the RMS load voltage.
