Abstract :
Since the trend in power electronics is to increase current and voltage levels to reduce design costs and time, the modeling of the structure is becoming unavoidable. In this paper a method for modeling connections in power electronics structure is presented Since the aim of designer is often to improve an existing solution, the use of such a model in a complete design process is presented. Then its use for different examples shows which kind of evaluations can be done in order to foresee the behavior of the structures
