Stop Time and Sample time for best performance

I create an RLC circuit in the Picosecond range, but when I started simulation its take a long time to finish the simulation.

What is the relation between sample time and stop time for simulation in this range for best performance?

Hello Mohamadreza,

the default stop time is 10 seconds. You can set this time to anything you want. Your stop time is directly proportional to how long your simulaiton will take. you should only simulate your system long enough to see the relevant dynamics that you need to observe. A good point to start with for stop time in a system in the picosecond range would be 1 nano second of simulation. There is no relationship to stop time and sample time, but they both affect how long it takes to finish the simulation.
