Abstract
The convergence of simulation technologies and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). Traditionally dominated by deterministic numerical solvers and manual model construction, transient simulation workflows in power systems, circuit design, and embedded systems are evolving into intelligence-augmented engineering ecosystems.
This paper presents a comprehensive and exhaustive treatment of GenAI integration into ECE simulation domains, including power system transient stability, analog and digital circuit synthesis, embedded systems deployment, FPGA acceleration, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Real-world use cases are provided across smart grids, HVDC systems, electric vehicles, aerospace platforms, and industrial automation.
By combining physics-based solvers with generative models, ECE is transitioning from compute-heavy simulation to adaptive, intelligent digital engineering.
1. Introduction
Transient simulation underpins modern Electrical and Computer Engineering. Whether evaluating grid stability, analyzing switching behavior in converters, validating analog circuit performance, or verifying FPGA timing, engineers rely on dynamic system modeling.
Traditional approaches use:
