Enhancing Converter Design Workflow with SIMBA Python Library
Objective
Participants will gain proficiency in Python and learn how to leverage its features to enhance converter design workflows.
By the end of this training, power electronics engineers will have a solid foundation in Python programming and a deep understanding of SIMBA’s capabilities. They will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to harness Python’s power and integrate it with SIMBA for efficient power electronics simulation and converter design.
Audience
This course is intended for power electronics engineers with little or no experience with Python.
