I get the same results on spice. > Shouldn't it have given the same results? > Can the initial voltage of N528849 be defined to another > value than 0? The behavior of "uic" is rather strange. Gnucap does it the same way as Spice, except that the "ic" command temporarily doesn't work. The "ic" options of the components should work, giving you a way to have a non-zero initial condition. "uic" just jams in the numbers, using 0 for anything that is not specified. No solution is done. There are no checks for validity. This is identical to the way Spice does it, intentionally. The "ic" command is broken, and will be fixed eventually, probably by the next official release, but not for the next development snapshot. _______________________________________________ Gnucap-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucap-devel
