pdaCompactModelItem

Define a compact model per BB type

Structure

The attributes and elements are shown below, in a sorted per type fashion.
In case a list is printed after an element, it indicates that you can have many, otherwise it should be a single element. With a optional it tells the element is not required.
<pdaCompactModelItem  modeltype="..."  name="..." ... > ...

  <parameter> ... </parameter>   list
  <tex> ... </tex>   list
</pdaCompactModelItem>

Details

doc

Type pdaDocumentation documentation: Document anything relevant for the topic you want to define.

This field allows some (short, few lines) documentation to be written. It can be a long string, but the idea is not to replace a design manual.
This fields is like tex which allows documentation in LaTex format; doc is restricted to plain text.

modeltype

Reference to a model type to define the properties that are expected for this model. Type pdaIdentifier documentation: Defines a valid name for an identifier.

Identifiers are used in the Python library for the getName() and setName() function and can thus be used to identify the different elements in lists.
In text the specification is a letter, followed by letters, numbers, underscore or dot. The XSD schema validation is a regular expression: [A-Za-z]([A-Za-z0-9_])*

name

Short name of the model. Type pdaIdentifier documentation: Defines a valid name for an identifier.

Identifiers are used in the Python library for the getName() and setName() function and can thus be used to identify the different elements in lists.

parameter

Define the parameters that are expected in a model.
The parameters of the model define what a simulator can use to vary within a model. So for a spectral tansfer, you can set the wavelength for example.
If the circuit simulator does not set the value, the model will use the default.
Type pdaNamedValue documentation: Create a named value with expression / type support.
