Specifying Properties for Circuit Components

Help contents

To set property for circuit components:

• double click the element in the list, or

• select the element and click Properties in Edit menu, or

• right-click the element and choose Properties from context menu.

Properties for Electric Components

For electric components, you can set the following properties:

Label
You can change the label for the element. It is not necessary to change this property, because you can use the default label. But meaningful label names improve the model clarity and therefore recommended. Label names should be unique within the circuit.

Value
Depending on element type, you should specify its numeric value: resistance R, capacity C, inductance L, current I or voltage V. You can specify formula as a value. For transient problems, you can specify formula containing t (time).

Phase
For AC problems, for voltage sources and current sources, you should specify phase value here.

Properties for components representing model blocks

For components representing model blocks, you can set the following property:

Block
You may change the name of the block. Each block can be specified only once. Combo box provides the list of all blocks that should be added to the circuit, that is, the list of all solid conductors of the model.
