Simulation types are DC transfer, DC operating point, AC- small signal, transient , temperature and noise, sensitivity, and distortion. Fourier analysis is missing , you can use the built-in FFT function instead.
Each analysis is represented in the schematic window (on top level only!)
by a so-called analysis-box. If the schematic is getting
too 'overcrowded',
you can hide the boxes by setting show sim boxes to 'no' in the third
'options'-dialog (see page ).
Analyses (boxes) can be enabled and disabled just like devices.
When disabled, the analysis will not be performed, because the contents of the analysis boxes will simply not be written into the netlist. Some kinds of analysis must be explicitly called upon, although their analyses-boxes are placed in the schematic. These analyses are parametric sweep, monte carlo simulation and optimization. Theses analyses can be called from the 'parametric' menu only.
This type of analyses is no intrinsic SPICE3 - simulation, it is a special SPICECAD- simulation which requires subsequent netlisting and running.
