Electronic – Circuit for simulation

passive-networkspspicesimulationtransient

Can someone please help solving for my circuit connection, I'm new to this and somehow didnt manage to simulate the circuit correctly as the software stated this

Warning: Inductor-voltage source loop found: L1, Vdc4. Since inductors are short-circuited during the DC bias point calculation, the loop will cause a problem for most analyses. Consider breaking the loop by inserting a small series resistor.

. This topics is about RLC Transient Simulation.

Original question : In the circuit shown below, Vo = 5V, and Io = 0A. Plot vc versus t for R1=1.923Ohm at t>0.

I think the question is intended to specify the initial capacitor voltage Vo=5 at t=0 and initial inductor current Io=0 at t=0. Your circuit, as drawn on the right, seems to keep the voltage at 5 forever.

This is easy to fix with a Time-Controlled Switch that opens or closes at t=0. In fact, we'll use two of them: SW1 to disconnect the voltage source, and SW2 to connect the inductor.

The simulator produces the following plot:

RLC with initial conditions

Using time-controlled switches that switch at t=0 is a straightforward way both to think about and to specify initial conditions.
