PyPLECS

Fast, cached, scalable PLECS simulation framework with REST API and Web GUI

PyPLECS automates PLECS power electronics simulation with modern software engineering practices.

Key Features

  • 5x faster batch simulations leveraging PLECS native parallel API
  • 100-1000x cache speedup on repeated simulations (hash-based deduplication)
  • REST API for language-agnostic integration
  • Web GUI for real-time monitoring and control
  • Priority queue with automatic retry logic
  • Flexible caching with Parquet, HDF5, or CSV storage

Quick Start

pip install -e .

from pyplecs import PlecsServer

with PlecsServer("model.plecs") as server:
    results = server.simulate({"Vi": 12.0, "Vo": 5.0})

Architecture

Two-layer design:

  1. Core Layer (pyplecs.py): Thin wrapper around PLECS XML-RPC + GUI automation
  2. Value-Add Layer: Orchestration, caching, API, web UI
