Transient analysis (transient or tran command) . Linear DC analysis is boring. A few years ago, when I was teaching a senior level C++ programming class for EE's, I had them write a simple DC analysis simulator as a homework assignment. The results were wonderful. They finally really learned the basic concepts that officially are covered in the circuits-1 course. They also learned how to organize a program, object oriented programming concepts, ... all on one homework assignment! In gnucap, (and also Spice) the DC analysis is intended for analyzing static conditions, like the DC operating point of a transistor circuit. Once you have established the DC operating point, you can do an AC small signal analysis (AC command), a fully nonlinear transient analysis (tran), a spectrum analysis (Fourier), with lots of variations. _______________________________________________ Help-gnucap mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnucap
