Flexible and easy to use non-linear transient electric circuit simulator.

Install
-------

.. code:: bash

   pip3 install respice

Usage
-----

Create your circuit and simulate it!

.. code:: python

   from respice.analysis import Circuit
   from respice.components import CurrentSourceDC, R, C

   # Define components for our circuit.
   R1 = R(100)
   R2 = R(200)
   C3 = C(10e-6)
   R4 = R(200)
   R5 = R(100)
   Isrc = CurrentSourceDC(0.1)

   # Construct the circuit. All circuits are just
   # Digraphs allowing multiple edges. On each edge
   # one component.
   wheatstone_bridge = Circuit()
   wheatstone_bridge.add(R1, 0, 1)
   wheatstone_bridge.add(R2, 0, 2)
   wheatstone_bridge.add(C3, 1, 2)
   wheatstone_bridge.add(R4, 1, 3)
   wheatstone_bridge.add(R5, 2, 3)
   wheatstone_bridge.add(Isrc, 3, 0)

   # Simulate! From t1 = 0ms to t2 = 5ms with 100 steps.
   simulation = wheatstone_bridge.simulate(0, 0.005, 100)

The results are stored in the returned object and can be easily accessed
via ``simulation.v(component)``, ``simulation.i(component)`` or ``simulation.p(component)``.
Those contain the voltages, currents and powers respectively for each time step
as a list. The time steps can be accessed with ``simulation.t()``.

All simulations are asynchronous. Accessing results early may only give partial
results. Use ``simulation.wait()`` to wait until the result is ready.

Results can be immediately plotted.
For plotting, ``plotly`` is required.

.. code:: python

   from respice.examples import RC

   # Define an example RC circuit. The package respice.examples
   # contains a few!
   rc = RC(100, 100e-6, 10)  # 100Ohm, 100uF, 10V
   simulation = rc.simulate(0, 0.1, 100)
   simulation.plot()

The plot function will wait automatically until the result is finished. Live-plotting
is not supported yet.

More simulations can be found on the `snippets page <https://gitlab.com/Makman2/respice/-/snippets>`_.

Supports
--------

- **MNA - Modified Nodal Analysis**

  This is the algorithm employed by this software. So it’s easily
  possible to handle voltages as well as currents.

- **Transient non-linear steady-state analysis**

  Find quickly periodic steady-state solutions of a circuit that appear
  when the circuit transients have settled.

- **Multi-terminal components**

  Components with more than just two terminals can be handled easily.
  Whether each sub-branch of them is a current- or voltage-branch, or
  whether they are current- or voltage-driven.

- **Mutual coupling**

  Usually required by multi-terminal components, mutual coupling is
  easily implementable. Each sub-branch in a component is automatically
  receiving the voltages and currents of all other branches comprising
  the component.

Documentation

More details and explanations are available in the documentation.

Documentation is generated via Sphinx. To build the documentation:

.. code:: bash

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt -r docs-requirements.txt
   make html

The index file can then be opened with your favorite browser at ``build/html/index.html``.
