Simulation Window
Simulation control parameters can either be assigned by Solution commands or in a graphical way using the Simulate window.
It consists of four sub-windows which are used to activate and control modal analyses MOPT, static analyses DCSW, harmonic analyses HARF and transient analyses settings TIME. Finally, the simulation run is initiated by clicking on the "Start Simulation" button.
Modal analysis settings⚓︎
Static analysis settings⚓︎
Static analysis settings are only necessary for DC-sweep operations. The following figure shows parameter settings for a voltage sweep on conductor “v_sense+”.
Harmonic response analysis settings⚓︎
The following figure shows parameters for a harmonic response analysis which covers a frequency range from 10 kHz to 40 Hz with 2000 frequency steps. The frequency spacing is logarithmic.
Transient analysis settings⚓︎
The following figure shows typical parameters for transient analysis. The total simulation time is 50 periods and each period will be analyzed with 100 time-steps. The “t_period”-label is a user defined parameter which corresponds to the inverse of the first eigenfrequency in the given example.
