My LTSpice simulation is too slow

AI Thread Summary
To speed up LTSpice simulations, users can change the integration method to trapezoidal, decrease the tolerance, and add large resistors in parallel with inductors. Reducing the simulation duration and recording less data can also enhance performance. The discussion highlights the importance of adjusting the time-step, especially when switching occurs on a microsecond scale for extended periods. Users are encouraged to evaluate the necessity of long simulation times. Implementing these strategies can significantly reduce simulation time.

Hi,

How can i make my Ltepsice simulation faster ?

it is taking me too much time (three days and it is not complete)

the Defi diodes are supposed to hold up to 4 kv

hi

what computer system are you running it on ?
what are its spec's ?

can you provide the model for the diodes?
 
some things you can do to make it faster...

change the integration method to trapezoidal.
decrease the tolerance.
put large (10 meg) resistors in parallel with the inductors.

sim it for less time.
record less of the simulation.

You are running a simulation at a very small time-step (switching is occurring on a microsecond scale) for 30 seconds. is that necessary?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
