The DC analysis calculates the circuit’s bias point over a range of values when sweeping a voltage or current source, temperature, a global parameter or a model parameter. The swept value can increase in a linear or a logarithmic range or can be a list of increasing values.
This is useful for example if you want to see the circuit response for a change in the supply voltage or to see how a change in a resistor value affects the circuit response. The DC sweep also allows for nested sweeps such that one of two variables is kept constant while sweeping the other variable. For example, the characteristic transistor ICVCE curve plots ...
