OK, operating point is consistent with LTspice's nomenclature and
most of available litterature..

To me,
from what I was taught in school and heard throughout my
career, "operating point" is very specific and means the
set of voltages and currents of the circuit, or the
static bias conditions in the circuit.
"Working
point" has no special meaning.? I guess it could mean
anything.? I have never seen the expression "working
point" used to mean the "operating point" of a circuit.
In other
words, for circuit simulation, and only speaking from my
electronics experience:
-
"Operating point" means the bias conditions
-
"Working point" is ambiguous or undefined
It makes
sense that a translator might translate them the same,
even if they do not mean the same thing to an American,
English speaking electrical engineer.
That's
why I encourage Bordodynov to use "operating point" in
the English description.? Months from now, if someone
comes across his file, if the file's description says
"working point" they might not know what it is.? If it
says "operating point" they know what it is probably
about.

Andy
