v21.1 [Feb 24, 2023]
- New in PSIM: Monte Carlo Analysis, Sensitivity Analysis, and Fault Analysis. Several new elements are also added.
- New FMI Module: Generated FMU models can be loaded by other software that supports the FMI standard for co-simulation. PSIM acts as slave / export only for now.
- SPICE Module: New tool to check PSPICE netlist against LTspice netlist syntax.
- Motor Drive Module: 6-phase PMSM Model (with zero phase shift).
- JMAG-RT Module: Support of JMAG-RT models for 6-phase PMSM and SynRM.
- SimCoder Module: Support of Sigma Delta Frequency Modulator (SDFM) for auto code generation.
- Power Supply Design Suite: New CLLLC design template for resonant converters.
EMI Design Suite:
– Adding pi-type and T-type filters in addition to L-Type.
– Including ESR and ESL to Capacitor Cx and Cy, and inter-winding capacitance to common-mode choke
– Adding damping branch to filters
– Adding the Ground Plane element for different grounding points
– Supporting 3-phase systems with EMI Filter, LISN, Signal Analyzer for 3-phase systems
– Providing a 3-phase Vienna Rectifier design template
- Thermal Module: Improved, direct access to the device in the Device Database.

Diode model with reverse recovery
MOSFET model with turn-on/turn-off transient
New and faster multisine ac sweep method
Inductor winding and core loss calculation
New supercapacitor model and solar cell models
PWM 1C models

v9.3 [May 14, 2013]
- Previously, the Motor Control Design Suite works in real value only and allows only one sampling rate for both inner and outer loops. In this release, the control circuit can be designed in per unit, and can operate in multiple sampling rates (that is, faster sampling rate for inner current loop and slower sampling rate for outer speed loop).
- The design template for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPM) is added.
HEV Design Suite:
- Previously, the HEV Design Suite works in real value only and allows only one sampling rate for both inner and outer loops. In this release, the control circuit can be designed in per unit, and can operate in multiple sampling rates (that is, faster sampling rate for inner current loop and slower sampling rate for outer speed/voltage loop).
Motor Drive Module:
- A Field Weakening control block for linear SPM is added to the Motor Drive Module. Based on the current reference amplitude, dc bus voltage, speed feedback, this block will automatically calculate the current references for Id and Iq for current control loops under the field weakening operation.
