Switch and Diode: about
Switches/ semi- conductors
The switch and diode components can be created:
- within the electric circuit editor context (graphically visualized component)
- with circuit import (graphically visualized component according to the format)
- directly in Flux (graphically non visualized component)
Graphic representation
In the circuit editor, the components are represented by the following graphic symbols:
| Switch | Diode |
|---|---|
|
|
Imported components are displayed in the window of the electric circuit diagram.
Components created directly in Flux are not displayable.
Orientation
The orientation of these components affects the finite elements method computation.
Electrical model
There are
- models for the current-voltage characteristics
- models for the command mode characteristics
proposed for each switch and diode component.
