Hi.

I would like to know what im doing wrong on this circuit cause I got an error: ([SPICE] TRAN: Timestep too small; timestep = 0.0133112: trouble with node #D1_S2#branch) and this is the most basic circuit I can make. I made some circuit whit many Ic and still simulate fine but this I cant :(

Thank you
 

I'd first look at the "switch" element and its properties. If it
has properties for on and off resistance, for control VH/VL
then make sure these are finite / sane. SPICEs have a hard
time with zero and infinite resistances, and divide-by-zero
transfer functions (i.e. flips from on to off with a zero voltage
step, like VH=VL=1.0).
 

I check the propertie and off resistance is 100M/ on resistance is 0.01. But I dont think the bug come from the switch cause I got the same result if I replace the switch by a transistor. The problem came when it switch sate (on/off)

UPDATE: I try this circuit on an other computer and work fine. So what can cause this. 2 week before everything was ok and my old project still work fine but now I cant event light a led. This is not an pc spec issue cause I have an i7-7700k, 16g of ram and GTX1060.

Find a circuit that works, delete all of the circuit so that you have a blank page, copy and paste the circuit you are having problems with into the blank page or redraw the circuit and see if it runs.
 

I format my pc and every thing go back to normal. Thank you anyway for you help
