SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 405
Local discretization error [%]. Defines the time step dependent on the
dynamic of the circuit. A small error increases the precision but also
the calculation time. This number itself gives no clue as to the precision
of the overall result.
Maximum number of iterations for one simulation step. If convergence
problems occur, the calculation for the active simulation step will be
stopped when the maximum value is reached without consideration of
other error limits.
Maximum current sum error. A very small value lead to accurate results,
but convergence problems might be possible in the Newton integration
method.
Maximum voltage error. A very small value leads to accurate results,
but convergence problems may occur using the Newton integration
method.
SIMPLORER Schematic
• Model parameter in SIMPLORER style (no TIME, 'LEFT,…)
• Vector elements in the property box of the model ({0,1,0,0}, "01010", 1=>5.0, 3=>4.0,
other=>0.0) cannot be initialized.
• No signals in SIMPLORER SML, therefore all SIMPLORER quantities creating events like
a signal.
• No difference between ports and generics in SIMPLORER.
• No display of physical units (sec, hour, …) in a Display Elements.
• Physical values in base units (Time in fs)
• No C Interface.
Structures
• No port and generic map between blocks.
Data types
• No pointers.
• No composite natures.
• No quantity arrays simultaneous statements.
Unsupported VHDL statements
