Larry, Just found your channel here and subscribed. Awesome work, thank you.I did model a Johnson Matchbox in SimSmith. Before this video, I had to take the balanced circuit and convert it back to single-ended. Beauty of that is you and I matched outputs. The RUSE was nice to use to 'mechanically couple' the differential capacitor.If I used an N block, can I put equations in it like a RUSE? From the video it appears that the RUSE block is just a pictorial N block.Thank you.PaulAC1DW
Larry, thank you for excellent video, it's one of your best. Provided simple and clear comparisons of circuit blocks. Coming from the Pspice world, sub-circuits and net lists are extremely important. Would it be possible to get a similar video on input file format and processing the associated data? Again, thank you, Danny Turner, KI6VBC
Danny, Keep watching as I have shown examples of SimSmith importing data from VNA's, EZNec, and user data. Ward AE6TY who developed SimSmith has taken the approach to add import filters to nearly all applicable devices. What is it exactly do you want to import? Larry, W0QE
I have some questions about RUSE blocks. If you build a passive LC filter in a RUSE block, can you define the Q of each capacitor, inductor and have them available/settable below the block like an individual component element filter? Can the power within, voltage across, and current through each RUSE block element be displayed outside the block like an individual component element filter?
Absolutely yes. Assume the component in the RUSE block is an inductor(L1). Replace the hyphen below the component with "L1_ Q1" without the quotes. It will now act as you want. Larry, W0QE
Oops, hit reply too soon. If the RUSE block is named A then the voltage across an inductor in that RUSE block can be referenced as A.L1.v and also A.L1.V is the voltage from the dot end of the component to the circuit point labeled "gnd". I'm sure I have done this in several videos. Give it a try. Larry
Learning buckets full here. Thanks for the work you put into these video's,

Paul,
You are correct in that he RUSE block is for viewing by the user and SS converts it into an N block for analysis.
