PPTools Description

PPtools aims to be a generic toolbox for people working in the Pulsed Powers field PPTools is a small, yet very convenient software utility for Pulsed Powers.PPtools aims to be a generic toolbox for people working in the Pulsed Powers field. Of course, it won't pretend to provide the kind of capability a full MHD or circuit code would but it should ease your life by providing a few convenient utilities. Here are some key features of "PPTools":· Solving of RLC circuit: give all parameters but two, solve the two unknowns!· Resistors color coding: enter the color code, read the resistance value! Or enter the resistance you need, then read the closest color code!· Liquid resistors solver: give all parameters but one, solve the unknown!· Inductances calculator: select the geometry, enter the parameters, then read the associated inductance and capacitance! (flux leakage coefficients included, according to Knoepfel calculations)· Skin depth calculator: select the applied signal shape, select the electrodes materials, give all parameters but one, solve the unknown!· Help window describing all the features and giving details about the calculations (in About tab). What's New in This Release: · the liquid resistor calculator was totally wrong (problems with then units of the data coming from the CRC conversion problems). Now it is fixed and it should work (benchmarked against experimental measurements); · better comments in the liquid resistor calculator code (easier to find pages in the CRC handbook); · more solutions in the liquid resistance calculator; · properly renammed "tab_resistivity" into "tab_lambda" in liquidresistor.cpp and .h; · rlc solver: more precisions in the message given for overdamped regime; · inductance calculator: the equivalent capacitance is now correctly calculated and if in doubt, a message is displayed (I don't have formulas for all capacitances in order to check if my calculation is correct nor the time to do it by hand); · color coding solver: added colored pixmaps showing the real color in the combo box; · color coding solver: now the suffixes are used in the resistance field too; · color coding solver: when solving for a color code for a given resistance value, the easiest, most natural color code is returned (hopefully); · color coding solver now knows the maximum and minimum values that can be coded. If the value we are looking for is out of bounds, it simply returns the closest boundary. · color coding solver does some intelligent rounding if it can not represent the exact resistance that has been requested (solving for color coding); · very nasty round off bug removed for resistances less than 1 ohm (problem coming from the (sad) fact that there is no exact binary representation for a decimal number between 1 and 0, so decimal arithmetic in that range can not be precise enough); · color coding solver now updated everytime a color ring is changed; · slightly updated help (in order to explain the capacitance calculation limitations, the color coding strategies and the usual names of the solutions available for liquid resistors)
