Colpitts oscillator simulation doesn't work

[mariorossi]

Good evening

I have copied the schematic in attachment from a site but I'm not able to make it work.

Could you help me, please?

Tks

I've found the answer. I had to set to redue the time step

I tried your file, I can't get it started, can you explain exactly what you changed? I've tried TSTEP and adjusted initial conditions, but never started. I think it may help others out if you could explain a bit more.

As I played with it more, I found that if you set the "intial conditions" under the "interactive" settings from "Determine Automatically" to "Set to Zero" the oscillator starts right away.

Hopefully this will help others.

This helped me. Thank you for coming back and telling us what worked for you. You saved me hours of headaches
