GeckoCIRCUITS is a free software of the former Gecko-Research AG used for circuit simulation. It is particularly suitable for the use of power electronic circuits.
Origin, development and current status[edit]
GeckoCircuits is a spin-off company of the ETH Zurich and was founded in 2008 initially under the name Gecko Research GmbH by Dr. A. Müsing, Dr. U. Drofenik, Dr. B. Seiler and Prof. J. Kolar.[1] In 2013 Gecko Research GmbH was renamed to Gecko-Simulations AG.
A first version of GeckoCircuits was released in 2013 under the GPL. No further developments have been included in this release status, as these were further marketed. After the maintainer stopped working full-time on GeckoCircuits in 2019, the last development status was released again under the GPL.
Features and function[edit]
Time series can be calculated and displayed. Various function blocks from the following categories are available
- Circuit diagram: electronic components
- Thermal: Simulation of cooling systems of power loss sources (e.g. a transistor)
- Mathematical calculation functions: Add, multiply, root functions, ...
- Logic Gates: AND, OR
- Electric machines: DC Machine, Synchronous Machine,...
- Self-programmable function blocks in Java and C/C++
- Measurement and evaluation: oscilloscope function
The programmable function blocks can be used to create parameter sweeps and to carry out optimizations. Furthermore, an interface to Matlab can be set up.
