 Using SEQUEL for course work

A large number of ready-made simulation examples are made available with the SEQUEL distribution. These examples can be used in courses on electronics and power electronics in a variety of ways:

  • class-room demonstration of basic concepts by running exisiting examples in class
  • assigning simulation exercises in which students tinker with parameter values and observe their effect on simulation results
  • assigning design problems (for which simulation can be used to verify the design)
  • assigning "projects" in which students design and simulate a complex circuit or system
