- 3.0 Input of circuit
- ================
-
- Circuit elements are input from the New circuit Menu, one element at a time
- with the required information being the element type, the connecting nodes
- and the value of the element, (i.e., 10 Ohm, .1 Henrys, etc.). The first
- thing that must be done is to number the nodes. A node, for the purposes of
- this program is any point where two ore more circuit elements meet. The no-
- des must be consecutive integers, consecutive numbered nodes need not have
- any special topological relationship to each other.
- While inputting each element, the program will ask for the connecting nodes
- with the following question: NODES: FROM, TO?. The FROM node is the node
- where the current leaves the element.
- For the non-source elements (resistors, inductors and capacitors), it is
- not important if you don't know the direction of the current flow. Simply
- assume one. If you assume wrong, the current will be computed 180 degrees
- from the expected direction.
- Study the example's EX1.CIR and EX2.CIR.
