Hi there, I am new to multisim.
Orcad has this feature where you just click the V, I, or P button and then the program displays on circuit the DC bias point, where can I find this feature in MULTISIM?

Thank You

Hi,
The present version of Multisim does not have this exact feature. However, a similar analysis is fairly easy to construct using Multisim's Interactive simulation mode and the Measurement probes:
1. Attach the Measurement probes to whatever nodes/branches you're interested in probing
2. Turn-off the time varying component of all sources (i.e voltage/current sources may only have a DC offset)
3. Press the Run button (this would run a Transient analysis in the Interactive simulation mode)
Unless you have huge time constants or feedback causing oscillation, the measured values should settle to their steady state values farily quickly. The steady state values should then be the same as those that would be calculated by DC Operating point analysis, which is what PSpice runs get the bias points.
Using the measurement probe, you can also hover over nodes during the simulation to get the voltage values.
Thanks,
