Capacitor (CAP)

A capacitor is assumed to be ideal (without losses or inductance) and is defined by the value of its capacitance (in the unit chosen by the user) and the corresponding initial condition (initial voltage). The straight bar of the capacitor symbol is used as the positive reference, and the curved bar of the capacitor symbol is used as a negative reference for the initial voltage (expressed in volts). The default value of the initial voltage for all capacitors is zero. By default, the capacitance and element ID are displayed next to the component.
