238 3. Reference Manual
If the IndependentVariable is not identical to the TimeVariable, then all time derivatives
in a system of circuit equations are set to zero and all explicit references to Time are
replaced by the value of InitialTime.
If the IndependentVariable is identical to the TimeVariable, then any derivatives with
respect to other variables, such as temperature, are set to zero.
InitialConditions
The option InitialConditions allows you to specify how CircuitEquations handles initial
conditions for dynamic quantities, such as capacitor voltages and inductor currents. The following
values are allowed:
Automatic
All
None
use initial conditions where given in the value field of
netlist entries
use initial conditions where given explicitly, set initial
conditions of all other dynamic quantities to zero
do not use any given initial conditions
Values for the InitialConditions option.
InitialTime
With InitialTime −> t , you can specify the point of time for which initial conditions are given. By
default, t ⩵ , but you may choose any other value.
NodeVoltagePrefix
With NodeVoltagePrefix −> "string" you can specify the prefix string CircuitEquations prepends
to a node name to generate a node voltage identifier.
For example, with NodeVoltagePrefix −> "V$", the node voltage at node 1 will be named V$1.
Symbol["string" "node"] must yield a valid symbol. Therefore, "string" must not contain
characters which have a special meaning in Mathematica.
