How are the voltages calculated?
#1 · July 1, 2024, 2:07 pm
Hello,
i was wondering how the voltages are calculated. After looking at the source code it obviously is calculated with a matrix.
Is it based on the nodal analysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodal_analysis?
I am genuinely interested in how a simulator like this works, and having access to the sourcecode is fascinating.
Thank you very much.

Yes, you got it right, it is nodal analysis.
Using matrixes is just an algebraic method to solve the system of linear equations: one equation per node (just apply KCL).
