Hi,
I really need you help. I've bought a book with a Multisim 10.1 Student Edition.
When I want to simulate something, I receive the following error message:
"This circuit has no power sources: unable to determine the simulation timestep automatically.
Please add a power source or set the simulation timestep under "Interactive Simulation Settings" to proceed."
I am using Windows XP.
Some time before I downloaded Evaluation Version from NI website and had the same problem.
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Anis

Hi,
seems that you have forgotten Power Source like VCC, VSS or AC/DC Source or forgotten the Ground (Analog/Digital Ground)
Attached here an example in *.doc. Please attache here your *.ms10 circuit if problem still exists
Best Regards

Hi,
Just as Johann explains, you need to set a VCC and GND on your schematic so the digital components can work correctly, here's a link to a document that has a more detailed explanation on why you need them and how to connect them.

Hope the information is useful.
Good Luck
