300 3. Reference Manual<br />

In case of an external simulator kernel a behavioral model in the simulator-specific language is<br />

generated with the function WriteModel (Section 3.10.5). Then the respective simulator kernel given<br />

by the option SimulatorExecutable is applied, and finally the generated simulation data is imported<br />

via the function ReadSimulationData (Section 3.10.3).<br />

Please note that this option is in an experimental state. Additionally, it is extremely dependent on<br />

the applied simulator, its underlying operating system, and even the available simulator version.<br />

SimulatorExecutable<br />

The option SimulatorExecutable specifies the name of the external simulator executable. Note<br />

that this option is only effective if an external simulator is applied via the option Simulator. The<br />

default setting is SimulatorExecutable −> Automatic, which means "pspice" in case of PSpice<br />

and "saber" in case of Saber, respectively. If set to a string make sure that the simulator call<br />

corresponds to the setting of the Simulator option. Otherwise the internal calls to the functions<br />

WriteModel and ReadSimulationData fail. Valid option values are as follows:<br />

Automatic<br />

"string"<br />

generates simulator call according to the Simulator option<br />

allows user specific simulator call<br />

Values for the SimulatorExecutable option.<br />

StartingStepSize<br />

The option StartingStepSize specifies the initial integration step size. The default setting is<br />

StartingStepSize −> Automatic, which means StartingStepSize ⩵ <br />

tend tstart <br />

.<br />

StepSizeFactor<br />

To speed up the computation time NDAESolve includes an automatic step size control. If the<br />

deviations of the variable values from one time point to its succeeding time instant fulfill certain<br />

conditions the actual step size will be multiplied or divided by the value given by the option<br />

StepSizeFactor. The default setting is StepSizeFactor −> 1.5.<br />

Examples<br />

Consider the following diode rectifier circuit with a sinusoidal input voltage.
