Electronics Simulation & Validation | Circuit, PCB, and Embedded Workflows

Electronics simulation helps teams validate power conversion, PCB integrity, and embedded control behavior before hardware cycles slow you down. TrueInsight supports the Altair electronics portfolio, from fast power electronics simulation to PCB verification and embedded development, so your engineers can iterate faster and ship with confidence.

What Is Electronic Simulation?

Electronics simulation is the practice of modeling circuits, PCBs, and control logic to predict behavior, losses, stability, thermal risk, integrity checks, and embedded performance before committing to prototypes. It’s commonly used to reduce design iterations across PCB design/manufacturing checks, power electronics, and firmware/controls development.

Electronics VS Electromagnetics

Electronics simulation focuses on circuits/PCB/power conversion and control. Electromagnetics focuses on fields (radiation, coupling, antennas, field-based EMC). If your problem is PCB-level verification or converter control, you’re in the right place—if it’s antenna placement or field coupling, jump to our Electromagnetics hub.

Electronic Simulation Tools From TrueInsight

Altair's Specialized Products for Electronic Simulation

Altair PSIM

PSIM is built for high-speed power electronics simulation—power conversion and motor drive studies—so teams can iterate quickly on topology and control strategy, evaluate switching behavior, and validate designs earlier.

Altair SmartCtrl

SmartCtrl supports control design workflows for power electronics, enabling faster iteration on control strategies and validation of stability/behavior for converter-centric applications.

Altair PollEx

PollEx is a PCB-level verification tool for design review, signal integrity, and design-for-manufacturing workflows, helping teams visualize, compare, measure, and verify PCB designs earlier.

Altair Embed

Embed supports embedded development workflows where engineers prototype behavior with block-style models and generate robust code for microcontrollers, bridging simulation to implementation faster.

Altair Twin Activate

Twin Activate is a block-diagram environment for modeling and simulating interconnected subsystems, useful when you need system-level behavior without stitching together dozens of add-ons.

Altair Compose

Compose provides an engineering computation environment for algorithms, data analysis/visualization, and scripting—often used to automate calculations and connect with system modeling workflows (including Activate).
