Command Line Interface

tsci simulate

tsci simulate runs circuit simulations on your tscircuit designs. Currently it supports analog SPICE simulations.

Usage​

tsci simulate <subcommand> <file> [options]

Subcommands​

tsci simulate analog​

Run an analog SPICE simulation on a circuit file.

tsci simulate analog <file> [options]

Arguments​

  • file (required) – path to a tscircuit .tsx or .circuit.json file

Options​

  • --disable-parts-engine – disable the parts engine during circuit evaluation

The command generates a SPICE netlist from your circuit, runs the simulation, and prints the results in a table format.

Example​

$ tsci simulate analog my-circuit.circuit.tsx
ngspice 1 -> ngspice 1 -> 
Note: No compatibility mode selected!


Circuit: * circuit json to spice netlist

ngspice 2 -> Doing analysis at TEMP = 27.000000 and TNOM = 27.000000

Using SPARSE 1.3 as Direct Linear Solver
Operating point simulation skipped by 'uic',
  now using transient initial conditions.
