Pingspice-only Simulation options.

ts: Set this to the step size of your TRAN simulation to have Elements automatically (TODO!) use a simulation-safe inductance tuned to that step size for a call to f.L. Set to None to not have it do that. (You can still use an Lsi or Lss.) CAUTION: The values of the R and C devices connected to the L won't change if you change your mind about the step size at run time.

timeWarp: Set this to a time speed-up factor for thermal capacitances, to make things warm up (and cool down) x times faster.

steadyState: Set this True to have thermal capacitances start out at estimated steady-state thermal "voltage" across them, which should start your simulation off at a fairly close temperature to steady-state.

fiti: Initial time allocated for fast initial temperature increase, for irregular but simulation-friendly initial warm-up. Set to None for no such irregular warm-up. If set True or to a value less than 10x ts, will be forced to 10x ts. NOTE: timeWarp, if any, still applies.

keep: Keep any temporary files generated for the circuit. (See lib.active.FileSource.) This should be set if sim.Analyzer.study is going to be called with this circuit.

Class Variable	defaults	The options, keyed by name, with default values.
Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	__iter__	I iterate over my option names.
Method	checkName	Raises an exception if name is not a recognized pingspice-only option name.
Method	get	Obtains the pingspice simulation option of the specified name by looking in the following places, in order:
Method	set	Sets the simulation-wide option specified by name to value.
Method	_ivar	Undocumented

defaults =

The options, keyed by name, with default values.

def __init__(self, someDict):

Undocumented

def __iter__(self):

I iterate over my option names.

def checkName(self, name):

Raises an exception if name is not a recognized pingspice-only option name.

def _ivar(self, obj, name):

Undocumented

def get(self, obj, name, *args):

Obtains the pingspice simulation option of the specified name by looking in the following places, in order:

The instance variables of the supplied object obj (typically a Subcircuit instance), where the user has defined a local option for that object only.
An option specified in the dict I was constructed with. Any options there were defined in the constructor to a Netlist, where the user defined a global option for the entire simulation.
The class (not instance!) variables of the supplied object obj, defining a default option for all instances of the same type as the object.
A default value that may be supplied as a third argument.
My defaults class dict.

If name isn't recognized as a simulation option, raises an exception.

def set(self, name, value):

Sets the simulation-wide option specified by name to value.

If name isn't recognized as a simulation option, raises an exception.
