PRINT Statements

Warning

By default, Nexxim stores all intermediate values for all nodes. If you do not use a PRINT statement, all node voltages and branch currents are retained so that they can be output to the results file. With large circuits or analyses, the amount of data to be stored can cause the simulation to slow down, or even to exceed memory limits (usually a fatal error for Designer/Nexxim). PRINT statements specify which nodes/values are to be retained, allowing Nexxim to discard all other values when they are no longer needed. Use of PRINT statements can significantly reduce memory usage. Although the range of output values may be limited, in those cases where memory is an issue a PRINT statement may be required to allow the computation to complete successfully.
