Working with the SPICE panel
Britt Espinosa
Last Update één maand geleden
The panel is called SPICE in the editor. It is editable only on a circuit that has no schematic. Once a circuit has a schematic, the netlist is generated from it and the panel becomes a read-only view, with the message This netlist is automatically generated from the schematic and is not directly editable. and the Examples button disabled. Everything below applies to netlist-only circuits.
The Spice Editor is a professional-grade environment designed for writing, editing, and executing Spice code. It is powered by the NGSpice engine, an industry-standard tool for high-performance circuit simulation.
Key Features
If you are new to Spice or want to see the editor in action, we have provided several pre-configured examples to get you started:
Key Features
- Syntax Highlighting: Easily read and debug your code with color-coded syntax.
- Intelligent Prompts: As you type, the editor provides helpful function prompts to assist with command structures and parameters.
- Professional Engine: Leverage the full power of NGSpice for accurate, best-in-class simulation results.
If you are new to Spice or want to see the editor in action, we have provided several pre-configured examples to get you started:
- Click the Examples button in the editor toolbar.
- Select an example from the dropdown menu to load the code into your workspace.
- Review the code structure to learn how different components and commands are defined.
How to Run a Simulation
Once your code is ready, you can trigger the simulation with a single click:
- Action: Push the Run Simulation button.
- Result: CircuitSim will process the code via NGSpice and generate data that can be viewed in the Chart or Table windows.
Tip: If your simulation doesn't run as expected, check the Info window for error logs and history to help troubleshoot your Spice code.
