PAN and MPanSuite: Simulation Vehicles towards the Analysis and Design of Heterogeneous Mixed Electrical Systems

In many engineering areas complex systems are composed of sub-parts that are modeled and analyzed in very different ways. These subsystems are often heterogeneous parts of the complex system that have to be analysed or designed in a communal environment. This has been triggering the development of "open" numerical subsystems that can be "glued" together in a shared numerical "backplane". In the literature the full simulation of the complex heterogeneous system is referred to with several names and among these with co-simulation. In this paper we use MATLAB as a backplane and present an environment for the analysis of heterogeneous systems where the electrical sub-parts can be efficiently modeled and analysed.
