Hi all,

FATAL: [SPICE] DCtrCurv: source vd not in circuit

Real Time Simulation failed to start
Totaliters=0, Totalsteps=0, Goodsteps=0, Badsteps=0

Real Time Simulation FAILED.



Any advice ??? (I didn't grab anything on google with this error message)
 
I found this :

Fatal error: DCtrCurv: source <name> not in circuit

This error will appear when the voltage or current source
referenced in a .DC statement does not appear in the circuit
netlist. The string <name> will be replaced with the voltage
source reference designation that can not be found in the circuit
netlist.


But I have no V or I DCsources in the circuit (using alternators & diodes bridges) I don't have any "vd" object too.

??? Any help appreciated.
