GeckoCIRCUITS is a circuit simulation environment designed specifically for power electronics applications. It provides a fast and user-friendly platform for modelling, analysing, and visualising electronic systems, combining circuit simulation with control and thermal modelling capabilities.
Originally developed by researchers associated with ETH Zurich, the software supports a wide range of simulation tasks including time-domain analysis, system modelling, and optimisation workflows. Its modular architecture and programmable components make it suitable for both educational use and advanced engineering design.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Circuit simulator optimised for power electronics applications.
- High-speed simulation engine for analysing complex electronic systems.
- Combines electrical, control, and thermal modelling in a single environment.
- Graphical modelling using functional blocks and electronic components.
- Supports programmable blocks in Java and C/C++ for custom behaviour.
- Integration capabilities with MATLAB/Simulink and other environments.
