Variable changes with time

Hi

I would like to simulate a circuit with variable capacitor where its value will change with tme instead of giving several traces for different values as in parametric sweep. How can it be done?

The desired input is:

with the output:

Thank you and Best Regards

    Well, I mean on the VC_CAP block, there is a CAP = 1U where 1U is a value that you can change. Also, when you double click the word VC_CAP, you can key in some values too. Double click it into its property and you will see there is a column for "value" which can be changed by clicking "VC_CAP" and another column labelled "CAP" with the value 1U. What are their relationship? Shall I just set the capacitance I want in the "value" column? For the voltage, I will just have to connect a vsin at the left terminals right?

     

    Thank you
