Transient Analysis Setup
You can perform transient analysis on:
- All internal components.
- All VHDL-AMS components. See VHDL-AMS Simulation for additional information.
- C-Models defined for use with transient simulation.
- Macros using any of the components listed above.
Simulation parameters in the Transient Analysis Setup and Solution Options dialog boxes control the simulation process. Parameter values used by the simulator during a simulation also provide information about the quality of a simulation result. Proper choice of values for simulation parameters is very important for a fast and successful simulation. You can also use simulation parameters in equations and expressions.
The Transient Analysis Setup dialog box provides the following options:
- Analysis Setup Name – The default name is TR. If you specify additional solution setups, the default name increments by 1 (for example, TR1).
- Analysis Control – Includes values for End Time - Tend, Min Time Step - Hmin, and Max Time Step - Hmax.
Use the check boxes to Use Initial Values from a file, and to Disable This Analysis.
Enable continue to solve causes the simulation to pause at the currently set end time (Tend) and to prompt you to set a new end time to continue the simulation. See Progress Bar Menu for additional information.
If a simulation ends before the specified end time (Tend), the simulation does not pause and the Progress bar closes normally.
- Analysis Options – Open a Select Solution Options dialog box where you can choose the solution option you intend to use for an analysis.
