Demonstrating Alternating Current

First we will get the components that we need. To do this click on the op amp button on the left side then click on the P button. See fig 1.

In the keyword text box type “ alternator”. Double click the “Alternator Active” on the results list. This will automatically add to your components list. See fig 2.

Now we will get a lamp. In the keywords textbox type “bulb”.  Double click the “lamp active” then click OK. See fig 3.

Place all the devices on the drawing pad. Click the alternator from the devices list then click on the drawing pad to place the device. Do this also to other components. 

Now connect the two components.

Your drawing pad should look like fig. 4.

To simulate the circuit click the play button on the bottom left corner. See fig 5.

Using a DC motor

1    1.) Click the “component” button on the left side toolbar then

click the P button on the left side of Devices caption. This is where you get the components you need.  See fig 1.

2.) Type the components that you will need in the keyword textbox. Now type in dc motor then double click the “MOTOR ACTIVE SIMPLE DC MOTOR MODEL”. The component will automatically be placed in your devices list. See fig. 2.

1     3.) Type switch on the keywords textbox then click “Switches & Relays” from the category list then double click on the “ SWITCH ACTIVE Interactive SPST Switch from the results list then click  OK. See fig. 3

1     4.) Now click on the MOTOR on the devices list then click anywhere on the drawing pad to place the components. Do this step on all devices to put it in the drawing pad. See fig. 4.

1     5.) Now we will add a dc supply. Click the sinusoidal icon on the left side then click DC in the generators list then click on the drawing pad to place the source. See fig. 5.

1       6.)We should add a ground for the circuit to simulate. To do this click on the pad button on the left side then click ground from the terminals list. Place the ground to the drawing pad.

Connect  all the components on the drawing pad your circuit should look like in fig. 6.

1        7.)Double click the DC source icon to change the value of the source. In the voltage textbox type in 9 for the output to be 9 v. then click OK. See fig 7.

1          8.) The circuit is finished. Click the play button on the lower left corner to simulate the circuit. Click the switch for the motor to run. See fig 8.

                                        

Basic electronics simulation

1.) Click the “component” button on the left side toolbar then

click the P button on the left side of Devices caption. This is where you get the components you need. 

See fig 1.

12.) The keyword textbox is used to find the components that you need. For this tutorial we will use a resistor, switch, dc supply and a led.

We will first pick the resistor. In this tutorial we will use a 100 ohms resistor. In the keyword textbox type “100R”  see fig. 2. 

In the category list click resistor See fig 3.

In the sub category click the “.6w metal film” see fig. 4.

Then double click the result of the 100ohm resistor. This will automatically add to your devices list. See 

fig 5.

3.) Next we will pick the switch. In the keyword textbox type switch.  From the Category list click “Switches and Relays. See fig. 6 

In the sub category list click “switches”. See fig. 7

In the Results list double click “SPST PUSH BUTTON”. See fig. 8

The push button switch will automatically add to your devices list.

14.) Next we will pick the led. In the Keyword textbox type led. From the category list click “optoelectronics”. See fig. 9.

In the sub category list click leds. See fig. 10 

In the results list double click “Led green active”.  Then click OK. See fig. 11

15.) Now let’s put all our devices in the drawing pad. From the devices list click button and then click anywhere in the drawing pad to place the device. Do the same to the other components. Your pad should look like in fig. 12.

16.)  Now we will place a dc supply. Click the “sinusoidal icon” on the left side. Then click “DC” in generators list then place it in the drawing pad. See fig. 13

Double click the DC supply icon in the drawing pad. In the voltage textbox type “5” so that the output of our DC supply is 5v then click OK. see fig. 14

17.) Now connect all the devices. Click the end pin of the component then click the end pin of the other component. Your circuit should look like fig. 15. 

18.)  We must add a ground for our circuit to simulate. Click the pad button on the left side toolbar. From the terminals list click ground and place it on the drawing pad. Connect the ground to the led. See fig 16.

19.)   Our circuit is complete. To run the simulation click the play button on the bottom left corner. To light the led click the switch.  See fig 17.
