   Transient Analysis Options       


Transient Analysis Options

The transient analysis options and their default values are listed in the table below. See Transient Analysis Technical Notes for an explanation of the controls and options.

The values can be changed with a .OPTIONS statement. The syntax is:

.OPTIONS tran.option1=value1 [tran.option2=value2 ... ]

The tran. prefix causes the option to apply only to transient analysis. Without the prefix, an option in the netlist applies to all analyses that recognize it. See Analysis-Specific Options for a listing of options that are used by more than one Nexxim analysis.

In addition to the transient analysis options, you can specify options for DC analysis to control the DC calculation done to obtain the initial conditions for transient analysis. See Nexxim DC Analysis Options for a listing.

Some options (in particular, abstol and reltol ) can affect both DC analysis and transient analysis. To specify different settings for the DC initialization and the subsequent transient analysis, use the prefix dc. for the DC settings and the prefix tran. for the transient analysis settings. In general, option settings with the prefix dc. affect only the DC initialization, and settings with the prefix tran. affect only the transient analysis. An option setting with no prefix affects both the DC and transient analyses. However, dc.abstol or dc.reltol is applied to transient analysis when tran.abstol or tran.reltol is not given explicitly.

Here is an example:

.option dc.conv=3 $ Applied to DC initialization only

.OPTION dc.abstol=4e-9 $ Applied to DC initialization only

.OPTION tran.abstol=1e-9 $ Applied to transient only

.OPTION reltol=2e-4 $ Applies to both DC and transient

(rest of netlist)

.TRAN 1e-3 1

 


Nexxim Transient Analysis Options

Option

Default Value

Description

abstol

1e-9

Absolute error tolerance for currents (Amps)

accurate_points.num

0

Force transient analysis to place timepoints at N equidistant points (simulate N events)

accurate_points.start

0.0

First accurate point

accurate_points.stop

0.0

Last accurate point

alpha

0.0

Minimum conductance of the resistor placed in parallel with each branch (mho)

beta

0.0

Minimum conductance of the resistor placed between each node and ground (mho)

errpreset

None

Overrides parameter defaults for speed/accuracy tradeoff.

limiting

1

1=allow limiting on Newton steps

limiting_step

0.3 for nonlinear circuits.

Very large (disabled) for linear circuits.

Maximum absolute voltage update allowed per N-R iteration (Volts)

max_frequency

50e9

Maximum frequency resolved by transient; used for S-parameters

maxiters

10

Maximum number of Newton-Raphson iterations for each timestep

method

trap

Integration method (parentheses show synonyms for methods):

trap (trapezoidal)

gear (bdf2)

ndf2

NOISEFMAX

0

The highest frequency to analyze for pseudorandom noise. Must be non-zero to enable transient noise analysis. Maximum transient timestep will be set to 1/NOISEFMAX.

NOISEFMIN

 

Lowest frequency to analyze for noise. Below NOISEFMIN, noise power density is constant.
1/NOISEFMIN must be less than the transient analysis stoptime. Not used currently.

NOISESCALE

1

Scale factor

NOISESEED

0

Random number seed. Using the same seed generates the same set of random values

NOISESTART

0

Noise start time

NOISETMIN

0

Noise minimum transient step. Not used currently.

num_frequencies

500

Number of frequencies resolved by transient plus DC; used for S-parameters

outputstart

0.0

Time to start saving results to a file

relref

allocal

The RELREF argument controls how the norms are computed for the delta check, function check, and LTE checks. Point-local means the norm is local to the signal and to the time step. Local means the norm is local to the signal but considers the maximums over all time-steps. Global means the norm is global for the entire circuit over all time-steps. The settings for relref are:

pointlocal = Point-local for delta, function, and LTE

alllocal = Local for delta, function, and LTE

sigglobal = Local for function, global for delta & LTE

allglobal = Global for delta, function, and LTE

reltol

1e-3

Relative error tolerance for currents and voltages

read_state

None

Read initial state from the specified file

result_as_initial_guess

1

1=Use of the result from each step in a sweep as the initial guess for the next sweep step.

sig_storage_off

0

1=Skip time domain probe data storage

skipResult

0

By default, transient results are stored into the SDF file. For the Eye Scope, setting skipresult to 1 allows the user to see the eye without storing all the data.

WARNING: Nexxim does not check that there is an Eye Scope present, risking loss of data.

step

None

Suggested transient step size

stop

None

Stop time

stop_pwl_times

1

0=Transient will not stop at the data points in any PWL source

1=Transient will stop and start backward Euler at every point specified in all PWL sources

2=Transient will stop at every data point in all PWL sources, but will maintain the current integration order.

3=Transient will stop only at data points that deviate from the extrapolation using the previous two points by more than the reltol and abstol specified for transient.

rmax

10

Factor for calculating maximum timestep

tmax

stoptime/100

Maximum step size

trtol

7.0

Ratio of transient analysis tolerance to Newton-Raphson tolerance, for timestep calculation

update_jacobian_period

3

Number of Newton steps per Jacobian update

write_final_state

 

Write the final values of node voltages to specified file.

write_initial_state

 

Write the initial (DC) values of node voltages to specified file.

vntol

50e-6

Absolute error tolerance for voltages (Volts)
