Simplifying Circuit Elements

To speed up the rendering of a very large or complicated layout, SIwave allows you to represent circuit elements as simple line segments. When a circuit element is simplified, only its visual representation is affected, and not the manner in which it is electrically represented by the solver.

To simplify circuit elements:

  1. Click View.
  2. Check the Simplify Circuit Elements check box.

The following image shows a Voltage Source before and after being simplified.
