Do your models support virtual grounding?

"Virtual ground" is an EXPRESSION to designate a mechanism by which the voltage is kept to the design ground (dynamically). It is a "feature" of the circuit, of a disposition of various components, not of an ad hoc component.

So, yes, it is supported. As presented in many circuits involving an OpAmp.

When you find in a circuit the symbol corresponding to ground, that is usually the actual ground... that is a node from which a lot of lines run to the different ground of the circuit... When I say "virtual ground" I mean a separate network of grounds that could have some voltage with respect to actual ground... my question is... do you support simultaneously actual gnd network with virtual ground networks?. In some simulators you can maintain different symbols for actual ground and for different virtual grounds

In my experience, our models do support virtual grounding in certain workflows, especially when integrating real-time sensor data. Using a Transducer within the pipeline has been particularly effective for translating raw signals into meaningful features, which helps maintain contextual accuracy. While not every scenario requires full grounding, I’ve found that combining these approaches consistently improves reliability and alignment with external inputs.

No, my models don't simulate circuits or support virtual grounding directly. For that, use circuit simulators like LTspice, Multisim, or Falstad.

The game challenges you to race in traffic with different modes like career, infinite, and time trial.
