Examples

Consider the circuit in the image above, which uses math function components to implement the trigonometric base equation:

Sin2(I) + Cos2(I) = 1

With respect to the MULTI components, the entries in the SPICE netlist will be:

*Schematic Netlist:
XMcos2 COS NetMcos2_2 NetMcos2_2 0 NetMcos2_5 0 MULTI
XMsin2 SIN NetMsin2_2 NetMsin2_2 0 NetMsin2_5 0 MULTI

.ENDS MULTI

The effect of the function can be seen in the resultant waveforms obtained by running a transient analysis of the circuit.

In this example, the following analysis parameters on the Transient/Fourier Analysis page of the Analyses Setup dialog have been used:

  • Transient Start Time - set to 0.000
  • Transient Stop Time - set to 50.00m
  • Transient Step Time - set to 200.0u
  • Transient Max Step Time - set to 200.0u
