Nonlinear element#

The Nonlinear element block ensures operationof nonlinear resistance, CVD of which is set by points and is generallya non-linear dependence of voltage on current (1) :

(1)#\[ U=f\left(i\right) \]

To simulate the nonlinear behavior of the block, an approach has been implemented to replaceit with an equivalent voltage and linear resistance source at each integrationstep. When setting the CVD of the block, pairs of points(current-voltage) can be entered in no particular order, then they willbe sorted in ascending order. Moreover, function f(i) shall be monotonically increasing.
