Transient Analysis RLC circuit problem?

I am conducting a transient analysis of a series RLC circuit in multisim.

 

Using a 10VDC power supply, a switch, a 10 Henry inductor, a 10 Ohm resistor, and a 5 nF capacitor.

 

My calculations show that ILmax is 223uA at 700uS.

 

When I perform the transient analysis I am having the following problems:

 

If I choose "Automatically determine input conditions" then IL peaks at 700uS, but it peaks at 35pA instead of 223uA?

 

If I choose "User defined" as the initial condition then IL peaks at 223uA, but it occurs at 250uS instead of 700uS?

 

What am I doing wrong here?

 

I should be getting 223uA at 700uS???

Hi there,

 

How did you calculate ILmax (time and current)? What's your Multisim version?
