• Signal Characteristics
• Physical Domain Components
Not supported components for AC simulation in the other tabs:

If models without DC and AC implementation are used in an AC simulation, an error message
appears. To leave components without DC and AC implementation on the sheet, select the
components and choose ELEMENT>DON’T ADD TO MODEL DESCRIPTION. When you want to process
a transient simulation, you can change this option.
AC Simulation Models
In addition to invalid network configurations, the following configurations cannot be used
with AC simulations:
• Parallel connection of voltage sources and inductances
• Parallel connection of current sources and capacitances without any other branch
See also “Network Configurations” on page 71.
If an AC simulation is started, the values for magnitude and phase or real and imaginary part,
defined in electrical and block sources, are used to generated the sine wave.
The magnitude of AC parameters can be a numerical value, a variable (defined in an initial
assignment condition or equation), or an expression. If you use an expression, only quantity
types with the attribute Out and standard functions can be used, for example
R10.V*ABS(C1.V). In contrast to the numerical value and the variable, expressions will be linearized
in the operation point. Therefore, expressions also contain information about the current
phase whereas numerical values and variables have no phase information.
The parameters phase, real part, and imaginary part are common parameter types. You can
use all numerical values, varibales, or expressions.
