Abstract :
Increasing demands on efficiency, reliability and sustainability of high power electronics combined with the accompanying need of suitable new materials, raise the necessity to not only reconsider common designs and design strategies, but also to shorten and minimize the associated work on re-design and optimisation. Virtual prototyping might be an appropriate solution to this task but needs a strong, reliable and valid foundation based on precise material data, fast and coherent simulation models and last but not least also an experimental verification.
