Switch in transient analysis

Sir/mam,

can i use switch in .CIR FILE for my transient analysis?

with thanks

Yes, you can use S from analog library (voltage controlled swicth with .model sw_name sw (ron roff von voff)).

Thanks, Janayya

How can i find current flowing through Voltage Controlled Switch from its <(+) switch node> to <(-) switch node> ?

Probe the current at S1/3 Number:2 which means output node of switch.
For better understanding of Spice language & tool you need to spend with PSpice Reference Guide & PSpice simulator help menu.

Are you doing simulation blindly? Simulator is used for verifying your theoretical understading.
For you kind information, if you input lousy data to simulator then you would see lousy output.

Hi... If all you care about is the steady state (or time averaged if transient) result then it usually does not matter how you get there. Starting with a unconverged steady state run is a lot better than a crude initial guess and will mean your transient run settles down much faster.

Yes, you can use a switch in a .CIR file for transient analysis. In transient analysis, switches are often used to model the opening or closing of a circuit at specific time points during the simulation.
In a .CIR file, you can define the switch using a switch model or a behavioral voltage or current source that simulates the switching action. The switch can be controlled by a voltage or current source, a voltage or current waveform, or a logical expression based on time or other circuit variables. pge outage map

This seems like a very difficult case

In order to do transient analysis on a.CIR file, it is possible to employ a switch. In the field of transient analysis, switches are frequently employed as a modeling tool to simulate the opening or closing of a circuit at particular periods in time throughout the simulation.  basketball stars
