This tutorial introduces the basic concepts of PLECS Standalone by having the user build up a simple passive network and a buck converter circuit. The instructions explain how to use the component libraries to model a system in the PLECS workspace, as well as how to interconnect components and parameterize them. Then a simulation can be run and resulting schematics and waveforms are provided for comparison. The user will also learn how to create a subsystem for organizing the model, implement controls for a multi-domain system, and use the Probe block to monitor component signals as an alternative to using meters and sensors.
