If I use a regular DC Current source of 1A, and an ABM Current source with just 1 for the value (ie, 1A), the direction of current coming out of the ABM source is opposite that of the DC Current source, and in the opposite direction of the arrow on the ABM Current Source icon. This polarity reversal requires a negative sign to fix and is confusing... is there a reason for this or is it just a bug? I didn't find anything noted on this peculiarity under the help files for the ABM source.

ABM Current Source - Current Direction is Opposite - Page 2

Never mind my last suggestion as I can see where that might be confusing to you.

m3nth,

You are right - the polarity in the ABM current source is wrong. It is a known defect and it will be addressed in the next release.
