Chapter 10 Transient analysis
250
Overview of transient analysis
Minimum requirements to run a transient analysis
Minimum circuit design requirements
Circuit should contain one of the following:
• An independent source with a transient specification
(see Table 10
)
• An initial condition on a reactive element
• A controlled source that is a function of time
Minimum program setup requirements
1 From the PSpice menu, choose New Simulation
Profile or Edit Simulation Settings. (If this is a new
simulation, enter the name of the profile and click
OK.)
The Simulation Settings dialog box appears.
2 From the Analysis type list box, select Time Domain
(Transient).
3 Specify the required parameters for the transient
analysis you want to run.
4 Click OK to save the simulation profile.
5 From the PSpice menu, choose Run to start the
simulation.
See Setting up analyses
on
page 7-197
for a description of the
Analysis Setup dialog box.
