ALTIUM Simulate Schematic and debugg division by zero

[cmunikat]

Hello,

When I try to simulate an altium schematic, I found an error which may be related to division by zero, as the error message shows below.

[Error] PCB_Project XSpice Error: 1, NAN out of range for / in (1) / (v(temp_termistor)) + (273))

The software shows the .nsx file with the netlist and where the error occurs. However I would need to do something to allow debugging, like variable browsing, step excecution, and so on


Is there a way to turn on debugging in ALTIUM? I am simulating an analog circuit with some complexity.

thanks!

You'd get a division by zero if no temperature is specified for the thermistor. There are 2 ways to solve this:
- in the Spice model, check which parameter represents temperature and add a property to the thermistor schematic component to specify that parameter
- look up the resistance of the thermistor at the temperature you want to simulate at, and simply replace the thermistor with a constant value resistor for the duration of your simulation.
