In SIMPLIS, a non-linear inductor is modeled using a piecewise-linear flux linkage vs. current (λ vs. i) characteristic:
- Level 0 models a PWL inductor with a parallel shunt resistance.
- Level 1 models a PWL inductor with a parallel shunt resistance and an equivalent series resistance (ESR).
- Level 2 (Version 8.40+) models a PWL inductor with a parallel shunt resistance and an equivalent series resistance (ESR). MDM is required for generating and modifying a Level 2 model.
