1.3.3 Compatibility

To realize the improvements made in version 2 of Analog Insydes, drastic changes on the internal data format had to be performed, such that we could not keep 100% compatibility with version 1. As a consequence, version 1 notebooks may not evaluate without errors using Analog Insydes 2. But fortunately, only some minor changes (like modifying function arguments) are usually sufficient to evaluate with version 2. These changes are listed below.

ApproximateMatrixEquation

altered pattern according to ApproximateTransferFunction

former option PrintProtocol now called Protocol, option values changed

CircuitEquations

option DefaultModelLibrary now called ModelLibrary

option DifferentialOperator now called FrequencyVariable

option setting SparseTableauVariant -> Basic | Extended now obtained by Formulation -> SparseTableau | ExtendedTableau

option setting SymbolicValues -> True | False now obtained by ElementValues -> Symbolic | Value

option setting TimeDomain -> True | False now obtained by AnalysisMode -> Transient | AC

option UnitValues is obsolete

CSDFRead

former command CSDFRead substituted by new implementation called ReadSimulationData

DXFGraphics

option FillColor now called FillColors, option values modified

options LineThickness, LineAbsoluteThickness, PolylineWidthScale, PrimitivesOut, TextOffsetX, TextOffsetY, and TextAlignBottom are obsolete

NDAESolve, NDAESolveDC

former command NDAESolveDC substituted by additional pattern for NDAESolve

option AnalysisMethod now called AnalysisMode

modified values for option Protocol

RootLocusPlot

modified values for options PoleStyle and ZeroStyle

SolveCircuitEquations

former command SolveCircuitEquations substituted by Solve

spice2ai.exe, SpiceToAI, WhereIsSpice2ai

former external executable spice2ai.exe and wrapper function SpiceToAI substituted by new implementation ReadNetlist

options Spice2aiOptions and Spice2aiPath are obsolete

command WhereIsSpice2ai is obsolete

CheckedCircuit, CheckedNetlist, FlatNetlist

replaced by NetlistObject[Checked | Flat]
