Hi Zhangkun,
If you want to turn off the calculation of second order coupling, set
.option genk=0
in your netlist.

Ray
I have use matrix method to check the automatic calculation. The following
is my netlist.
V1 node1 gnd ac 1
L1 node1 node2 10mh
L2 gnd node4 8.1mh
L3 gnd node6 6.4mh
K1 L1 L2 0.9
K2 L2 L3 0.8888888888
K3 L1 L3 0.8
R1 node2 gnd 50k
R2 node4 gnd 100k
R3 node6 gnd 100k
The current in V1 is simulated. When there is "K3 L1 L3 0.8", the
simulation result is not correct. When "K3 L1 L3 0.8" is cut, the
simulation result agree with that calculated by means of matrix method and
is correct.
As you have pointed out, it is dangerous. I agree with you. However, in the
simulation, if there are second-order or higher-order coupling, how to do?
Is it a bug in the tools?
Best Regards
