Triode Vacuum Tube modeling

This circuit follows the procedure described in the following paper about modeling triodes in simulation.

https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~mmccorq/diversions/simulation/index.php

I didn't really have any time to really read through the paper yet, so the presentet circuit might not be identical to the papers suggestions. 

I changed the VCCS to a VCVS for better readability of the circuit, but didn't adjust values yet. 

This paper might be interesting for users that are trying to simulate any tube (triodes only) related circuits.

You're welcome. I just copied the paper so you should probably stick to that just in case I made any mistakes. Since your approach uses the same tube, comparing results might help to adjust your model. Using those formulas it might be nice to make a library for commonly used tubes tho.

I ve been collecting papers, I think I have 10 or 20,, this is a nice paper, I am familiar the author 's work... Not this particular paper.... Now I should just go through reading them.... .. I think the maximum possible on EC is going to be your circuit,, its small enough... . I use Circuitsafari sim.. Its like Ltspice but runs on mobile... Can have circuits pages long... Its just unbelivable and its cheaper than EC...

Library for EC Valve will be very thin,, your cct. Probably plus a diode , not sure about doing pentode etc... 12AX is ok for most guitar amplifire stuff.. Which people might nterested on EC...

EF86 etc might be interesting for radio stuff. I have no clue on how to approach pentodes so that's up for the future. As you already mentioned somewhere else, EC is for small circuits. Anything else is done on a PC in LTspice for me.
