Re: Monitor simulation percent completion from python
There is no way of knowing how large the .raw file will be.? Indeed, it might not be the same even for similar simulations.? It depends on how many time points LTspice actually used, which is not

Apologize, I just wanted to make sure I understood it correctly :-)

Re: intuition behind a solution to crashing time domain simulation #Time-step-too-small
I don't know what's going on here. U1 isn't open-loop. Are we looking at the same .ASC, PID_section_united_AC_separate?? U3 is open-loop at DC. U1 and U2 have unity gain, U4 has 100 times gain at DC.

Re: Monitor simulation percent completion from python
Thanks Tony, I have a callback function for when the simulation finishes so the user gets notified via email. They are asking for percent completion because they are running simulations that take 3

Re: Initial conditions for inductor current in .TRAN UIC analysis - follow up
You appear to be extremely insistent by asking this question *over and over* , as if asking it every few minutes will twist my arm and force me to answer you immediately. I don't work that way. Go

Re: .MEAS Failure
Yeah - that is a different problem, caused by misusing operators. Helmut's concern was over the lack of exact equality.? I guess it applied only in specific situations, which did not include this

Re: intuition behind a solution to crashing time domain simulation #Time-step-too-small
Why not? Does expensive silicon imply an equally expensive SPICE model?? Shouldn't every SPICE model ever made, whether for cheap or expensive silicon, not produce time step too small errors?? And

Re: .MEAS Failure
Hello All: Sorry for being late to the party but I had to grab some sleep time. So, it's equality only. No matter how many times I read the .meas help I would not come to that conclusion. To me; WHEN

Re: .MEAS Failure
This would be the case, for example, in a B-source expression, which disallows the "=" operator anyhow, e.g.: ..which triggers an error, but: ..doesn't. However, in the example of my simple sine

Re: .MEAS Failure
mhx, sorry, I know better. I did not excluding anything via .save. .meas TRAN TooLow1 find V(XSW11:X1:Qc)-V(XSW11:X1:Qe) when V(XSW11:X1:Qc)-V(XSW11:X1:Qe)<1 still produces; Measurement "toolow1"

Re: intuition behind a solution to crashing time domain simulation #Time-step-too-small
I agree, of course, but the AD797 is a (costly) opamp. It should not produce a TSTS error in that .ASC. Without a lot of digging, it isn't possible to confirm that it is connected correctly; for

Re: Initial conditions for inductor current in .TRAN UIC analysis - follow up
I think it does look like a paradox. It one were doing a Laplace analysis with pencil and paper, I(L1)? = 10 A would definitely be an 'initial condition'. But I did conclude that it isn't in LTspice.

Re: .MEAS Failure
I think you're missing the point I made in the first response. This type of .MEAS is designed to find a single point on the x-axis when an expression is true. None of the .MEAS examples in the Help

Re: Initial conditions for inductor current in .TRAN UIC analysis - follow up
I mean that it might remove the IC= or .IC enforced conditions, and run another pass looking for convergence. Whether or not it does that, is not the point I was making.? The point is that it begins

Re: .MEAS Failure
That might be true.? But I distinctly recall Helmut Sennewald cautioning people not to test for equality.? Better to use >= or <=.? The implication was that it did not use linear interpolation in

Re: intuition behind a solution to crashing time domain simulation #Time-step-too-small

Re: Initial conditions for inductor current in .TRAN UIC analysis - follow up
Sorry, without UIC LTspice lets the circuit converge (i.e. basically it works out the DC Initial Transient Solution/ITS including the voltages/charges and currents/fluxes for capacitors and inductors

Re: .MEAS Failure
No, I think you're just introducing accuracy into the equality test. The LTspice just takes the two closest data points and performs linear interpolation to establish when the expression is true. It
