Copy the file spice-help.sp into your local directory or create a file called spice-help.sp and type the contents of spice-help.sp into it. From netscape, you will have to save via left mouse click to prevent saving as type troff. Run hspice on the netlist file by typing (at the unix prompt): hspice spice-help.sp > output_file The results of your simulation may be seen in the file output_file. Note that spice-help.sp and output_file are arbitrary file names. You can view the results with vi, vim, or cat. Look at the output file. Can you find the node voltages at a, b, and c? They may be marked 0:a, 0:b, 0:c. Can you find the voltage, current and power for each element? How to print? lp -dprinter_name where printer_name is the printer name. I use the printer hpps, so I would type: lp -dhpps output_file Change the values or alter the netlist and see what happens. Play with the tool and learn. Try putting two voltage sources driving each other. Try and figure what out the answer will be.
