https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/526c93ru8x7k/rectifier-w-smoothing-capacitor/ I tried to simulate a simple AC rectifier circuit . The output is not what is expected. Already there is no AC voltage at the voltage generator . May I chose a bad element or is there something wrong with the simulation? thanks in advance |

Try floating the V2, D3,D4 line and grounding one side of R1. Add node names and use them. |

Hi, I'm a newbie to all this but this works: In the Simulate/Time Domain - change: Stop Time to (1/60)*25 and Time Step to (1/60)/30. Now run the Time Domain Simulation. I don't know why this works, maybe someone else can explain it? |

I forgot to mention that these "times" are explained in the CircuitLab Textbook in Chapter 2, Schematics & Simulations Tutorial under the Time-Domain Simulation section. However, because I'm new to all this, it's still a bit gobbledygook to me at present. |

If I only apply a simple voltage generator it cannot measure any voltage on its output |
