Ansoft Corp. (Pittsburgh) and Virginia Tech's Future Energy Electronics Center (FEEC) have teamed to develop new,
efficient power-electronics technology and an innovative graduate curriculum based on Ansoft's electronic-design software for physics-based system simulation.
"Ansoft's tools are essential for power-electronics system simulation and
are very easy for students to learn," said Dr. Jih-Sheng (Jason) Lai,
Director of the FEEC. "The software provides the advanced capabilities
needed for forward-thinking research. The ability to simulate
power-electronic circuits, digital/analog controls and electromechanical
components within a single integrated environment is extremely powerful and
accurate."
