Piecewise funtion to determine voltage pulse

Hello all,

I have a simple thermoelectric simulation I want to run. I want to create a voltage pulse across a coil and calculate the coil temp over time. I cannot define my piecewise voltage function correctly in the definitions. I keep getting an undefined variable error when I try and run the simulation

Thanks in advance Sami

Hello Sami,

In the Electric Potential 1 node, you are trying to pass to the function called Volt the argument "sec", but "sec" is not defined. If your intention was to pass time in seconds, as I suspect, then the notation is simply "t", as in Volt(t).

Best,

Jeff
