Hi again,
I teach at a local technical institute. What might be the best, easiest to use software for in-class demonstrations of the below culprits? I would want interactive animations of all these sorts of things as well as interactive calculators etc.
Understand that I deal with 100 KVA transformers, 50 HP three phase motors etc much more than I do integrated circuits and more complex discrete electronics.
You see I teach apprentice electricians not electronics students, so the scope (pun) is much wider and much more heavy-duty, large-device, power-distribution oriented than the usual electronics-only type course material.
I briefly looked at NI LabVIEW in the classroom as per the below URL
Using NI LabVIEW in the Classroom - National Instruments
However NI LabVIEW does not seem to reference 1) to 12) and seems to be too focused on only electronics. I am not even sure if NI LabVIEW would suit my needs for a) to p) for that matter!
1) Three wire single phase power distribution
2) Four wire three phase power distribution
3) All DC and AC generators
4) All DC and AC motors
5) Single phase power distribution transformers
6) Three phase power distribution transformers
7) Oscilloscope animations
8) Function generator animations
9) Basic electronic circuit animations
10) Waveform analysis of sine wave square waves, triangle waves, pulse waves,
11) Motor Control
12) Power Factor
a) Ohms Law
b) Kirchhoff's Laws
c) Nodal analysis
d) RLC circuits
e) Series & parallel resonance
f) Inductive reactance
g) Inductive capacitance
h) Capacitive reactance
i) Capacitors
j) Inductors
k) Basic discrete electronic circuits (not IC's)
l) Watts Law
m) Faraday's Law
n) Left hand rules
o) Right Hand Rules
p) Etc
