WHAT YOU GET
SPS Software picks up exactly where SimPowerSystems left off. Same physics-based modelling, same Simulink workflow, now independent from the MathWorks bundle.
Physics-based component libraries with EMT-level precision. Build and validate everything from distribution feeders to converter topologies in one environment.
Take your desktop model directly to OPAL-RT hardware-in-the-loop platforms without rebuilding or translating. This is the native integration that Simscape Electrical cannot offer.
From student projects to enterprise deployment. Transparent pricing with no hidden toolbox dependencies, and academic licensing that makes adoption practical at any scale.
How SPS Software Compares
The key differences that matter to your decision.
| SPS Software | Simscape Electrical | |
|---|---|---|

| Focus | ✓Dedicated power systems & power electronics | Part of multi-domain Simscape family |
| Simulation Fidelity | ✓EMT-level precision by default | Multiple fidelity levels, user-configurable |
| Real-Time / HIL | ✓Native OPAL-RT platform integration | HIL via dSPACE, Speedgoat, third-party |
| Heritage | ✓Active continuation of SimPowerSystems | Rebranded from SimPowerSystems |
| License Requirement | ✓Standalone, no bundle required | Requires MATLAB + Simulink + Simscape base |
| Switching Cost | ✓We honor your existing agreement | Standard renewal pricing |
FAQ
Quick answers to the questions engineers ask most when switching.
Your SimPowerSystems-based models work directly in SPS Software with no modification. SPS Software is the active continuation of the same codebase, so block libraries, parameterization, and solver behavior carry over as-is.
If you are currently under a MathWorks license agreement, we will match your remaining term so you can start using SPS Software without paying for overlapping coverage. Contact our team and we will work out the details based on your specific agreement.
SPS Software is a dedicated power systems and power electronics toolbox with transparent standalone pricing, EMT-level precision by default, and native OPAL-RT HIL integration. Simscape Electrical is part of the broader Simscape suite and requires a bundled MATLAB + Simulink + Simscape license stack.
Yes. SPS Software has native compatibility with RT-LAB and OPAL-RT hardware-in-the-loop platforms. You can take your desktop model directly to real-time simulation without rebuilding or translating the model.
Full access to SPS Software with all component libraries. No credit card required. You will have 15 days to build, simulate, and evaluate the tool in your own workflow.
SPS Software runs inside Simulink, so you do need MATLAB and Simulink. The difference is that SPS Software itself is a standalone product. You do not need Simscape or any other MathWorks toolbox add-on to run it.
Full library access. No credit card. 15 days to evaluate.
