System vs. Circuit Simulation
System simulators(MATLAB/Simulink)
⊕ Easy set-up of controllers
Circuit equations must be provided
Circuit simulators(Simplorer, PSpice, Saber)
⊕ Easy set-up of circuit
Incorporation of controllers often difficult
Switch models too detailed
Requirement: Accurate and efficient simulation ofelectrical circuit and control system

Variable vs. Fixed Time-Step Simulation
Variable Time-Step
⊕ Highest Accuracy
Can get slow for large system
Fixed Time-Step
⊕ Can speed up simulation for large systems
⊕ Hardware controls are often implemented in fixed time-step
Non-sampled switching events (diodes, thyristors) require special handling
Conclusion: Both simulation methods have their application
