I was looking at a version of the manual from Sept 20, 2006, so maybe it's out of date. But it gives two options for the tran command: transient start stop stepsize {options ...} transient stepsize stop start {options ...} It seems like the values that he gave (10m 10 1) could be interpreted e

You're specifying a 10 ms step size (first parameter in the tran command), and it looks like that's what you're getting. The period of a 60 Hz sine wave is 16.6 ms, so you're getting fewer than 2 samples per cycle. Try changing the step size to 1 ms and things should start to look better. I

In this case, the solver will not need to add extra steps internally. You specified a sin generator, whose output is a simple function of time, and a resistor. The whole circuit is memoryless. At 60Hz, the period is just 16.6ms. With a 10ms step size, of course you're going to see an aliased wav

Thanks for all the replies everyone, but I think I should have started with something a little simpler and built off that. Now I can't even model a simple AC source in series with a resistor...I tried to do it in straight gnucap and eliminate gschem to try to narrow down the culprit. Attached i
