Although it all depends on the model you are using= whether or not it includes what you need. The generic models usually are p= retty bare-bones. Cheerful regards, Bob ________________________________________ From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu on behalf of Manu A= braham=20 Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2020 9:57 AM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [EE] Simulating a push pull converter Greetings Bob, Adding in Rise and Fall time improved the symmetricity of the waveform, though negligible, but there still exists a small difference -421V vs 431V. If it were a practical scenario, it could be assumed that it were the magnetization current. But does LTSpice know about magnetization current in this situation ?
