What will we get from the chart?

4. Origin and intention of curve auto generation
Quicker and easier for engineers to understand the basic principle of the system.
Can present the relationship between the different physical variables obviously.
First check whether the circuit is able to fulfill the specification or not.
Easy and quick to do the characteristic comparison between the different topologies.
Improve the work efficiency to access the system analysis and design, such as components parameters design; controller design.

5. Key points to go through
Special applied skills of saber. (basic)
Applications of general functional module. (key)
The measure modules in the existing library
Self-constructed modules.
Modules remarks:
To improve the work efficiency, both should be generally purpose applied modules. Convenient to be transferred, no need to debug or construction.

6. Applications of general functional module
Two ways:
1) Use the modules in the existing library
Some general measure modules are already existing in the library, they can be used as you need, the catalog is,
\power system\instruments\measurement\

7. Applications of general functional module Library measurement block example
Problem: The modules are limit, can not meet most requirement of system analysis, then?

8. Applications of general functional module Self-constructed modules
Characteristic
Can freely realize different required measure and compute function based on system.
Such as power, PF, efficiency and stress on components.
Can realize the signals analysis
Such as waveform spectrum analysis, THD value compute.
How to build the modules?
First is to make clear what functions are required.
Second is to understand and master the theory required.
Third is to consider the mathematic analysis based on the system.
Finally is to realize the expected function.
Above is for the developer.
For users, no need to consider about the details .

9. General functional module
Towards this topic, for energy converter system, five different kinds of such modules are constructed at present.
Single phase AC/DC system (Pout, Pin, PF, efficiency)
Three phase AC/DC system (same as above)
Three phase AC/AC system (same as above)
Waveform spectrum analysis and THD value compute (three kinds)
RMS value compute
In addition, there are many other modules and circuits, such as different controllers for variable power converter system, and svpwm module, which are listed in the appendix and available on the pre-research simulation library.

11. How to realize the curve auto generation?
Steps:
1) System model construction in saber.
2) Build the corresponding net list, run required analysis.
3) Set “vary” parameters, run the analysis, get the primarily required waveforms.
4) Do the post-processing towards the waveforms, get the final required result curves.
