Example

>>> # Import dictionary
>>> from pyphs.dictionary import electronics
>>> # Define component label
>>> label = 'D'
>>> # Define component nodes
>>> nodes = ('N1', 'N2')
>>> # Define component parameters
>>> parameters = {'Is': 2e-09,  # Saturation current (A)
...               'mu': 1.7,    # Quality factor (d.u.)
...               'R': 0.5,     # Connectors resistance (Ohms)
...               'v0': 0.026,  # Thermal voltage (V)
...              }
>>> # Instanciate component
>>> component = electronics.Diode(label, nodes, **parameters)
>>> # Graph dimensions
>>> len(component.nodes)
3
>>> len(component.edges)
