Simulation: easy way to simulate rectified 50Hz voltage

Hello, maybe someone has an advice for me:

When simulating a cicuit with AC input voltage I often create a bridge rectifier from 4 standard KiCad diodes (“D”).
This often leads to problems with “timestep too small” when the circuit gets more complicated with more nonlinear devices.

sometimes I can avoid errors by adding series resistors to the diodes or by adding a resistor load to the bridge output.

In most cases a version with 2 sources (0° and 180°) and 2 diodes works fine !
But when I want to “play” with voltage and other parameters this is cumbersome because I always have to modify both sources.

Is there a better way to have a rectified sinus voltage ?

In addition to adding a small series resistance to the diodes you may add a small capacitance (cj0=10p or so) to the model parameters.

OK, I did not try that so far. I will test this and report in this chat …

Works immediately ! 4x10pF, no resistors, the same simulation is OK now !

Thank you for this advice !
