How sources and components are treated in DC analysis?

Hi,

In DC analysis, capacitor is open and inductor is short. I would like to know what other things the DC analysis do (for example, how sources are treated,...). Could you tell me where can I find this? 

I tried search cdnshelp but the info is not there. It is an introduction about DC analysis.

    Thank you.

    I will look at the book and hope it is covered well. I know how DC analysis is done in general (caps are open, inductors are short and ac sources are short too). However, Cadence has a lot of voltage sources with many parameters (DC voltage, initial voltage, offset voltage,...). 

    I am not sure if there kinds of parameters are considered in DC analysis. Anyway, I would like to read a thorough treatment about this.
