Siconos/ACEF

Automatic circuit equation formulation

WORK IN PROGRESS

Old simulation code (tag:acef_v1.0) works on ubuntu 10.04.

Start to update with a recent siconos

Ngspice

Ngspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Its code is based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1 and Xspice.

The ngspice source code has evolved over time by integrating contributions from various sources (e.g. Spice3f5, XSPICE, CIDER, numparam, tclspice and others). Thus a mixture of license statements prevails.

The ngspice license is the `Modified BSD' license. This is adopted for all of its source code, test and example files except for the files listed below.

Directory

• Sandbox/

• Tests/

• web/

• src/ This directory contains the code source of the automatic circuit equation formulation (ACEF). It is based on Siconos.

  • src/Spiceparser: It builds the library libSiconosSpiceparser. It contains the netlist parser.
  • src/ACE: It builds the library libSiconosACEF. It is linked with libSiconosSpiceparser. It contains the automatic circuit equation formulation.
  • src/EXE: It builds executables to run the simulation.

Compilation

Depends on :

• Siconos (branch noselecs_v0) to be installed, see https://nonsmooth.gricad-pages.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/siconos/index.html

• Spicelib from ngspice (copied in ./Spiceparser) see http://ngspice.sourceforge.net. Do not identified the ngspice version (< 30).

• boost-graph, libXml2, blas/lapack
