Interface IIterationSimulationState

An ISimulationState that tracks the current iteration mode. This state is used to help iterating to a solution using some tricks specific to a BiasingSimulation.

Namespace: SpiceSharp.Simulations

Assembly: SpiceSharp.dll

Syntax

public interface IIterationSimulationState : ISimulationState

Properties

Gmin

Gets or sets the a conductance that is shunted with PN junctions to aid convergence.

Declaration

double Gmin { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double	The minimum conductance for PN junctions.

IsConvergent

Is the current iteration convergent? This parameter is used to communicate convergence.

Declaration

bool IsConvergent { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool	true if this the iteration is convergent; otherwise, false.

Mode

Gets the iteration mode.

Declaration

IterationModes Mode { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IterationModes	The mode.

SourceFactor

The current source factor. This parameter is changed when doing source stepping for aiding convergence.

Declaration

double SourceFactor { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

Remarks

In source stepping, all sources are considered to be at 0 which has typically only one single solution (all nodes and currents are 0V and 0A). By increasing the source factor in small steps, it is possible to progressively reach a solution without having non-convergence.
