Connecting Electrical Circuits Using Predefined Couplings

In addition to these circuit features, interfaces in the AC/DC Module, RF Module, MEMS Module, Plasma Module, and Semiconductor Module (the modules that include the Electrical Circuit interface) also contain features that provide couplings to the Electrical Circuit interface by accepting a voltage or a current from one of the specific circuit features (External I vs. U, External U vs. I, and External I-Terminal).

This coupling is typically activated when:

•

A choice is made in the window for the noncircuit physics interface feature, which then announces (that is, includes) the coupling to the Electrical Circuit interface. Its voltage or current is then included to make it visible to the connecting circuit feature.

•

A voltage or current that has been announced (that is, included) is selected in a feature node’s window.

These circuit connections are supported in Terminals and Coils.
