Dear ng,
[first thanks for help on my earlier questions (Steve and Bill!), I'll answer next week to some suggestions when I had time to work on them!]I'm working on a power supply for an arc lamp but since my intuition about electronics is sometimes rather limited and there's some high voltage needed to ignite these lamps, I'd like to simulate some designs with spice first(or maybe simulink). But it's been a few years since I used spice. It was great for the IC simulations at the uni, but I wonder if it's usefull to simulate the ignition of an arc lamp. I guess it's very hard to model the arc lamp itself (unless someone already did it), but maybe it's not or someone has an idea if it is possible with a few days of work?
Thanks, Mathias
