SIMPLORER User Manual V6.0 - FER-a

10 Physical Domains
SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 305
Physical Domain components appear in the Physical Domains folder of the «Basics» tab. The
folder is subdivided in fluidic, magnetic, mechanical, and thermal domains. Select the folder
Physical Domains, open one of the folders, click a name, drag the component onto the sheet
and release the mouse button.
Along with electrical domain components you can model and simulate systems consisting of
different engineering applications. Each domain has its own relation for across and through
quantities. In addition, components and wires of a domain are represented by an identical color
in the graphical representation of the Schematic. To change the settings of nature colors,
choose SHEET>PROPERTIES. Please note: You can only change the wiring color, not the color
of component symbols.
All models are implemented as C models.
The Physical Domains folder provides components for the following domains:
• Fluidic Components
• Magnetic Components
• Mechanical Components
• Thermal Components
Mechanical components are subdivided into four physical domains: translational – rotational
and translational_v – rotational_v
You cannot use components in the Physical Domains folder in AC and DC simulations. To
leave components on the sheet, select the components and choose ELEMENT>DON’T ADD TO
MODEL DESCRIPTION. When you want to process a transient simulation, you can change this
option.
