C#.NET and MATLAB® based simulation program for basic electrical circuits

Due to decrease in the cost of personal computer and several easily accessible software packages, computer-aided training has been became the most important technique regarding to other education methods in recent years. In this study, a training tool has been developed to analyze the serial and parallel RLC circuits which are one of the basic topics in the field of electrical engineering. For this purpose, a visual interface has been designed with C#.NET called as visual C Sharp in order to analyze basic RLC circuits in MATLAB® environment using MATLAB® BuilderTM NE toolbox. Students can visually analyze by changing simulation parameters of RLC circuits via the graphical user interface developed.
