• Spice compatible models
• Transformers
• Continuous Blocks
• Discrete Blocks
• Source Blocks
• Signal Processing Blocks
(except for MAX, MIN, MAXT, MINT, two-point element with hysteresis)
• Math Blocks
• Measurement (Electrical domain)
• Time Functions
• Characteristics
• Equations (except for DES solver)
• C models with definition for DC simulation.
• VHDL-AMS models with definition for DC simulation.
• Macros using appropriate models (internal components, C models)
Not supported components for DC simulation in the «Basics» tab:
• Electrical machines
• State graph components
• Signal Characteristics
• Physical Domain Components
Not supported components for DC simulation in the other tabs:
• Components in the «AMS» tab
• Components in the «Digital» tab
• Components in the «Tools» tab
If models without DC implementation are used in an DC simulation, an error message appears.
To leave components without DC 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.
DC Simulation Models
In addition to invalid network configurations, the following configurations cannot be used
with DC 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.
Parameters of DC Simulator
In the Schematic, choose SIMULATION>PARAMETER and click the «DC» tab to set the parameters
for the DC simulator.
Solver Parameters
THETA (23) Global ambient temperature for temperature dependent components
[°C].
