Abstract :
An interactive user interface for the power electronic circuit analysis package (PECAN) that is designed to run on an engineering workstation under the Unix operating system is described. The general features of the interface, including the schematic capture, subcircuit, and plotting features, are detailed. The advantages of developing such software to run under Unix instead of DOS are discussed. Examples of the interface features are provided.<>
