Creating a user defined source (Voltage and current)

Ali Aljayzani
Ali Aljayzani over 6 years ago

How to define a current or a voltage source ?
For, example:

if     v(t) = (100+100t)e^(-100t) V       and       i(t) =   (100+220t)e^(-1000t) mA.

How to create any user defined source not limited to the example ?

The source could be any signal.

    Probably bsource (which is in analogLib). Not sure what you mean by "100t" or "220t" and so on though in the above expressions.

    100*time = 100*t

    It's $time you need to use. So create an instance of bsource from analogLib, set the model type to "v" and set the expression on it to be: (100+100*$time)*exp(-100*$time)

    Regards,

    Andrew.
