Getting Started with PSIM - Building a Buck Converter

Join us for a one-hour journey through PSIM and learn how to build a buck converter from open-loop to close-loop.

Since Altair acquired Powersim in March 2022, many new users might ask themselves: "How do I get started with PSIM and what can it even do for me?"

Are you one of them?

Or are you already an experienced user and just want to refresh your skills and see if there are any new tips and tricks?

Either way, this webinar is right for you. Join us for a one-hour journey through the PSIM software and learn how to build a buck converter from open-loop to close-loop.
