Parameter sweep in Mixed Sim

[Bud]

I am trying to sweep a voltage source's AC phase but the parameter does not show up in Mixed Sim Parameter Sweep Setup dialog, only DC parameter seems to be available for VSIN voltage sources. How do I set up the simulation to sweep V5 phase ?

Use a SPICE .param statement:

(Set the parameter in the simulation configuration dialog.)

Sorry cant figure out from your reply/screenshots how to do it. Is an Altium tutorial on that ?

These are the dialog steps.

It's just SPICE: whatever expression is in the curly braces, is evaluated at compile time.  You can use expressions and parameters instead of constants, and then you can sweep the parameter.

I see. So you create a Global parameter, select it in the Parameters Sweep and also assign it (in curly brackets) to the component you want to sweep (in my case a voltage source).
Did that and it worked, thanks for the tip!
