Simulation Software Name : MATLAB SOFTWARE ,PSPICE SOFTWARE

Purpose of Using MATLAB SOFTWARE:

Electrical engineering courses are featured on combination of strong and weak electricity and take account into the specialized knowledge of the both. In the design of electricity tests and new products, it will significantly increase the complexity of test system and decrease teaching efficiency if adopting the real physical model design. While if simulating the real conditions by computers, it will achieve the effect that real tests don't have.

Application of MATLAB in simulation of the Electrical Engineering and its Automation

There are problems of various aspects existing in the experiment teaching activities of electrical engineering and its automation. For example, due to the establishment of digital platforms in most courses at present, students can accomplish the experiments via reading guide books even if they do not have a deep insight into the relevant knowledge, which leads to the separation of theory and practice, weakening the students' research ability. In addition, with the fast updating pace of electric appliance parts, the experimental conditions cannot meet the needs of some new-type experiments, large electric power experiments and so on.

The adoption of MATLAB software can enable the computer simulation design and virtual experiment to synchronously implement the design and experiment without the restrictions of components.
it will facilitate the adjustment and coverage of circuit parameters and realize the updating change of the electric appliance parts, which helps improve the comprehensive design and experiment ability of the students.
The simulation is beneficial to cultivate students' thinking and innovation ability, ensure them to master experimental analysis methods on the basis of the grasp of software technology, and boost their study interest.
In the process of teaching activities of electrical engineering and its automation, theories concerning mainly include automatic control principles, modern control theories, power system theories and so on, which are excessively theoretical, and the adoption of traditional teaching methods can hardly achieve the ideal teaching effects.

PURPOSE OF USING PSPICE SOFTWARE:

PSpice increases the students’ abilities to comprehend the behavior of electronic components and circuits. One of the main advantages of using this tool is the reinforcement of student understanding of theoretical principles by means of enhanced graphical aids. Simulation results can be used effectively in classroom to emphasize the characteristics of devices and show the similarities and differences that exist between an actual and theoretical characteristic.
