There are basically four steps to carry out when building a model and doing simulations; drawing the schematic, specifying parameters, defining which simulation results should be visible and finally running the simulation.- Build the schematic. Because of the multilevel modeling approach he can mix circuit components and control blocks in one schematic.
- For each circuit component, you specify parameters such as, for example, inductance, voltage, capacitance or duty-cycle, frequency or other numerical values.
- Each nodal voltage, branch current or output from a block can be made visible, using a block called Scope. Add several blocks Scope to the schematic, connect the inputs with a circuit node, circuit component or output from a block and size the border of the blocks SCOPE with the resize grip.
- The schematic of the model is ready and the simulation can be started using the menu item Simulation/Start. The simulation results are drawn immediately during the simulation, in the blocks Scope. Right-clicking the block Scope gives a window where the simulation results are displayed together with axis and scale values. The scaling is performed automatically.
