Simulation-friendly Inductor, as an included chunk of netlist.

Note: This is included for explanatory purposes, but you can just specify a ts keyword in a f.L call to do the same thing much more easily.

I have a small amount of parallel capacitance added, just enough to limit unit voltage rise time to simulation step time ts if there is a discontinuous change in current. I also have just enough parallel resistance added to keep LC at critical damping, so there isn't any ringing.

You use me something like this:

   ...
   Lsi(f, 1, 2, ts=10E-9, L=1E-6)
   f.R(2, 0, 1E3)
   Lsi(f, 2, 3, ts=10E-9, L=1.5E-6)
   f.R(3, 0, 2E3)
   ...

You can't alter subcircuit parameters, so this is used for analysis.param.ParameterFinder setups instead of Lss. Also, it produces less netlist lines and recursion for just one device instance.

Included circuit definition.

Inherited from NodeStuff (via Include):

Instance Variable	shunts	A dict of current sensing V elements with the pairs of nodes they connect.
Class Variable	debug	A `Bag` that gets set `True` for all instances to log info about each `setup` call.
Class Method	autoName	Undocumented
Method	setupResults	Undocumented
Method	fill	Undocumented
Method	nodeCheck	Call with the circuit building tool f and a sequence of nodes provided to this `Include` or `Subcircuit`.
Method	rawNetlist	Get lines of a raw netlist from a search hierarchy of possible sources.
Method	shunt	Call to insert a current-measuring shunt and add an entry to my `Elements` baton's dict of shunts.
Method	raw	See `Elements.raw`.
Method	iNode	See `Elements.iNode`.
Method	ground	See `Elements.ground`.
Method	sca	See `Elements.sca`.
Method	sca6	See `Elements.sca6`.
Class Method	_libDir	Undocumented
Method	_strippedLines	Undocumented
Method	_call_setup	Calls my `setup` method (almost always your override of that method, actually) and processes any return value.

def setup(self, f, a, b):

overrides pingspice.circuit.netlist.Include.setup

Included circuit definition.

Override this to define your own method for constructing part of a netlist, using the Elements object provided as f. Why use f? Because it's short and a conveniently typed letter on the keyboard.

As with Subcircuit.setup, your override method can return a dict of attribute names and values to set in my instance.
