Comparison of simulators used in Power Electronics

[tenderne]

Dear All:
I am new in using simulator for power electronics design. have found a lot of candidates after google, inculding ADS, simulink, Multiphysics, PowerFactory, SIMPOWER, SAber, SIMetrix, Psim, Pspice, LTspice, really dazzled.

Basically I just want to know their performance comparison in design of control, circuit, structure and analysis in EMI (radiation), thermal and etc.

Any of your comments or opinions would be much appreciated.

For basic function simulation, Pspice is enough.

I used Spectre Turbo and APS. They are much faster.
