Electric Drive Train Simulator2.4Review Electric Drive Train Simulator is a electric drive train development tool. Select motors, batteries, wheel diameter and gear reduction, then take it for a test drive on a virtual test track. Main features: - Excellent design tool for building robotic R/C type drive trains like those used in BattleBots, BattleBots IQ, Robot Fighting League, Robotica, BotBash, First Robotics, Best Robotics or Robot Wars. - Includes four wheel car type and cycle type drive trains that can be used in designing electric gokarts, electric scooters or electric motorcycles. - Simulates battery voltage, state of charge, and internal resistance, so you can see how your bots performance changes as the batteries run down. - Motor simulation allows you to see how motors will run at higher or lower voltages than the motor's designed voltage. - Motor manufacturers rate motors in different ways making it difficult to compare motors. In EDTSim all motors are rated in the same way, using the motor constants, making it easy to compare motors. - Large database of motors includes size, weight, torque, rpm, manufacturer, approximate price and places to buy them. All motors listed on the Links page are included in the database. - Motor and drive train specs can be displayed in whatever metric or imperial units you prefer. - Motor performance and drive train acceleration graphs. - Large battery database includes size, weight, voltage, internal resistance, Peukert value and capacity at different discharge rates. - Knowing a motor's power rating isn't enough. The power you'll get out of a system isn't just dependent on the motor, it depends on the motor, batteries and the electrical resistance of the speed controller and wiring. EDTSim takes all these factors into account and tells you the power of all the components combined. - Includes motor and battery editor so you can use manufacturer specs or test data to add motors and batteries to the database.

- Includes example drive trains ranging is size from 1 to 360 lb and can be used for any size drive train that uses permanent magnet DC (PMDC) electric motors. - Includes twelve drive train configurations, two, four and six wheel tank or wheelchair type differential steering (also known as skid steering) drive train types with two, four or six motors. Two and four wheel car type Ackerman steering with front, rear and four wheel drive configurations.

PSIMReviewPSIM is a simulation software specifically designed for power electronics and motor control. With fast simulation and friendly user interface, this program provides a powerful simulation environment to address your simulation needs. PSIM provides an intuitive and easy-to-use graphic user interface for schematic editing. A circuit can be easily created and edited. Extensive on-line help is available for each component. To handle large systems, PSIM provides the subcircuit function which allows part of a circuit to be represented by a subcircuit block.

Circuit Construction Kit (DC and AC) 3.1ReviewCircuit Construction Kit (DC and AC) is a simulation for building circuits. The University of Colorado also has a DC only version. This particular one allows you to build circuits on the screen that are powered by DC and AC current. To start building a circuit from scratch you simply drag elements from the menu on the right and drop them on the table. If you want to try an AC current circuit, you need to add the AC Voltage as your power source. If you are going with DC current, simply add a battery. The whole goal of the simulation is to get current that will power a light bulb. To complete a circuit with DC current you simply have to connect wires to the positive and negative ends of a battery into resistors and then into the light bulb. AC seems to work the same way. But I am thinking that you need to add a capacitor and an inductor to the circuit to get constant power. Unlike what happens in DC current, electrons move in both directions in AC current, so building a circuit entails the installation of different parts.

The website for this application warns that there might be some bugs and usability errors in the application. I did found that the application becomes slow at times, but it was nothing too bad.

Very easy to use. Illustrates various concepts. No installation required.
