How to run a simulation

To run the simulation you can either :

  • select the menu File->Run
  • press the F5 button
  • click on the gear button located on the toolbar

The simulation can be stopped by clicking on the cross button located on the toolbar.

If you have asked for a transient ( TRANS keyword ) or AC analysis ( ACMOD or ACPHASE keyword ), the simulator will first process a DC analysis before. You can disable this behaviour with the keyword OPTION : OPTION(NO_DC)

Once the compilation is done, you can see three systems of equations displayed on the right windows.

  • The first displayed system is the original one constituted of node equations, loop equations and physical equations.
  • The second displayed system is the linearized form of the previous one. Its suffix is "[LIN]".
  • The third displayed system is the DC solved system ( if there is no declaration OPTION(NO_DC) ). Its suffix is "[DC]".
  • The fourth displayed system is either the TRANS, ACMOD or ACPHASE solved system. Its suffix is "[TRANS]" or "[AC]MOD" or "[AC]PHASE".
