3.2.2    Time Domain

The button_domain_time button in Domain tab and Domain->Time… command from main menu or context menu set time domain and invoke Position & Parameters dialogue for setting time domain parameters.

For Temperature and Enthalpy components, it invokes Position & Parameters dialogue for setting BHM regime parameters.

Time domain display shows variation of the selected component in time at a particular point of the circuit. The number of time samples that are displayed and other parameters can be set in Position & Parameters dialogue.

In time domain displays, usually only the time-history is of interest, and thus the envelope lines do not provide any useful information.

 

3.2.2.1   Time Domain in BHM regime

The button_domain_time button in Domain tab and Domain->Time… command from main menu or context menu, invoked for Temperature and Enthalpy components, set time domain in the QW-BHM regime and invoke Position & Parameters dialogue for setting QW-BHM regime parameters.

It should be noted that thermal components available in QW-BHM regime, Temperature and Enthalpy, are displayed versus the BHM heating time, and not versus the electromagnetic (FDTD) time like the electromagnetic components.
