Anita has moved on from simple electronic circuits to pulse width modulation for power converters. She has implemented models of switched converters in Acumen, Simulink and Matlab.
Anita and Veronica also implemented a class in Acumen that calculates the average of any given signal over a specified period of time.
---------------------------------------------------
class CalculateAverage(signal, startTime, endTime)
private
t=0; t'=0; adder=0; counter=0; average=0;
end
t'[=]1;
if t>=startTime && t<=endTime
counter [=] counter + 1;
adder[=]signal+adder;
average[=]adder/counter;
end
end
---------------------------------------------------
Anita and Yingfu have started structuring a paper about Acumen3D. The contributions of this work will include:
- Using abstractions => user needs to specify only a few key parameters.
- Taking full advantage of the information already in the simulation model (e.g. position of a object)
- Automatically generating virtual scenes
- Integrating visualization file with modeling file
