Path sources feed the calculation domain with a given current or voltage. Three different path sources are available:

Besides the purpose of feeding the calculation domain, path source definitions are also used for postprocessing steps such as inductance-, resistance- or impedance calculations.
Depending on which solver was used for the simulation a brief summary of important source parameters is added to the result tree after the simulation was completed:
Voltage path parameters from a LF-solver run at two frequency points.
Due to mutual coupling the impedance values can be negative.
LF Solver note: The source values (voltage or current) are defined in the generator system, whereas the load system is used to compute the corresponding parameters (current or voltage, impedance and power).

Current distributions for a voltage- and a current path source excitation. Note that voltage- and current paths are heading into opposite directions.
