Device Initial Equations
Right-click a Device Model or Device Model Feature node and choose Device Initial Equations () from the Devices submenu.
To add a Device Initial Equations node to a physics feature or physics property node, right-click the node and choose Device from the Devices submenu. If added under any of these nodes or a Component node, the device initial equations node belongs to the device models closest in the hierarchy. For most cases this will be the device model added by the physics interface.
Device Initial Equations
Fill in the table with Left-hand side and Right-hand side of an arbitrary number of Device Initial Equations. You can use any device variable, device input, or device constant in these equations. See Device Equations above for details about the conventions of expressions containing device variables.
The DAE analysis only includes the device initial equations when analyzing the initial value problem. The analysis includes normal device equations for both the initial and the normal problem. Complex problems may require that the user solves for the initial problem using a special study step, but for many cases it works fine to just let the initial-value problem enter the initial values of the normal problem.
