Dear all, In the attached circuit, I see that there is some "beat" in the filtered waveforms, e.g. the min and max tend to oscillate when simulating for 0.1 ms with a time step of 0.0000001 s. Running the same simulation with 10x more time steps (0.00000001 s) removes the "beat". Any ideas of where this artefact is coming from? Many thanks - Thomas |

When the results of a simulation yield nonsense I have usually found that the results are changing too fast for the time step chosen. Try making the time step much shorter. Or you might learn a lot by making the frequency of V2 much lower and also trying a sine wave rather than square. |

Thanks Foxx - I guess the curve is interpolated between points and that gives strange plots when there are not enough points! Many thanks Tom |

That's it. Circuit Lab simply calculates conditions at each time step point and draws in a straight line joining the points. Lotsa luck |
