I do not know how to create a current controlled voltage source symbol in order to place into my schematic.
I already hand jammed the values using the node voltage method and the text book already gives the answer of 24V, I am just trying to get savvy in creating these schematics and simulating them for overall proficiency improvement and yep the ccvs is a sticking point. Not frustrated, I just found a problem which justifies me digging into this deeper, learning . LtSpice has the ccvs model and symbol, online circuit simulator has it too- done them there. I have found online the basic premise of how to go about creating a symbol, on other simulators, no issues. But kicad encourages me to make my own, cool no prob, but how?
Circuit I am trying to simulate is:
Attempt 1:
Simply inserting VDC from kicad library and change parameters
Gives wrong value, something like 90V at Vo across R4, its supposed to be 24V. I try and multiply Vh by the V1 current “i(v1)” but the program complains. Kinda worn down.
So I draw up my own symbols:
and
I am trying to figure out how to use the model shown in the ngspice manual for ccvs page 93:
4.2.4
Hxxxx: Linear Current-Controlled Voltage Sources (CCVS)
General form:
HXXXXXXX N+ N- VNAM VALUE
Examples:
HX 5 17 VZ 0.5K
Not sure how to implement it, create a word document in a file location and follow chapter 2.2 of the ngspice manual?
Anywhoo, I would like to simply insert a “normal” voltage source at the ccvs location and simply edit the “value” by multiplying “20*i(v1)” and be done. Not working.
I did not really find anything else on this forum like this except this one, kinda:
Any takers?
