CURRENT FLOW & VOLTAGE ANIMATION IN TINACLOUD

Jump to TINA Main Page & General Information

TINACLOUD can demonstrate the current flow with running dashes and mark the direction of the currents with filled current arrows. When a current is zero, the current arrow is not displayed.

The value of voltages is also indicated by the color of the dashes (wires). Positive values are red, and negative values are blue. The program calculates the maximum voltages. The maximum positive voltage is marked by red RGB (1,0,0), and the zero voltage is marked by black RGB (0,0,0). When the voltage is less than the maximum, the color is proportionally darker, and finally, when the voltage is zero, the dashes stop moving and the color of the dashes is black. Negative voltages are colored blue starting with RGB (0,0,1).

Currents and voltages can be also animated through interactive transient analysis (TR). The following animation
