Software for transient states of circuits

Click For Summary
Software that generates differential equations for input circuits is sought after, with LTspice recommended as a free simulator for verifying equations. While commercial packages may exist to produce simultaneous differential equations from a netlist, they are often part of expensive circuit analysis tools. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding affordable software for this purpose, with a humorous nod to using one's own intellect as a solution. The user is considering developing their own software in MATLAB as a potential project for their bachelor's diploma. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of simulation and comparison in circuit analysis.

Hello,

So is there any software, that generates the differential equation for the input circuit?

I am trying to solve a problem and I want to check if my equation is right.

Thanks.

Solve your equation, plot the results, and then compare to the output of a circuit simulation. LTspice is a good, free, simulator. It's worthwhile getting familiar with such a useful tool.

I presume that there must be commercial packages out there that will produce a set of simultaneous differential equations from a netlist, but I couldn't say if they'd be generated in a form that would be usable to you. Also it would likely be just one component of a larger, rather expensive circuit analysis package.

The only affordable software I'm aware of that will generate the differential equations from a circuit diagram is located between the ears :smile:

Thank you, I was solving my problems just like that, but still I can only check whether my particular solution, or steady state is correct. But then again if my particular solution is correct, probably the homogeneous is too.

I am thinking, making the software myself, mainly in matlab. Somehow. Could be the topic for my B. diploma who knows.
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
