Hello,

I'm trying to model a simple capacitor charging circuit by monitoring
the voltage across the capacitor over a period of time.  The test
circuit would have a 50V DC supply, connected in series with a 100kOhm
resistor and a 10uF capacitor.  The time constant for this should come
out to be 1 second, so I think monitoring the voltage across the
capacitor every 1/2 second for 10 seconds is reasonable to show the
principle.  Here's the netlist I'm using:
--------
Simple Capacitor Charger
V1       1  0   50V
C1       2  0   10uF
R1       1  2   100kOhm
.print tran V(2)
.op
.tran .5 10
.end
--------
When I run it with the command "gnucap -b ./capacitorcharge.ckt", I get
this data:
--------
Simple Capacitor Charger 
#          
 27.       
#Time       V(2)      
 0.         50.       
 0.5        50.       
 1.         50.       
 1.5        50.       
 2.         50.       
 2.5        50.       
 3.         50.       
 3.5        50.       
 4.         50.       
 4.5        50.       
 5.         50.       
 5.5        50.       
 6.         50.       
 6.5        50.       
 7.         50.       
 7.5        50.       
 8.         50.       
 8.5        50.       
 9.         50.       
 9.5        50.       
 10.        50.

What's wrong with the netlist or command that makes it do this?

Thanks a lot,
Chris
