Isolate the cause
- Read the first diagnostic and reduce the netlist to the smallest circuit that reproduces it.
- Check the intended reference node and floating subcircuits or inconsistent ideal-source constraints.
- Verify units, model parameters, coupled-inductor validity, bias and initial conditions.
- Restore parts of the circuit in small steps and compare against a supplied working example.
Preserve the physical circuit
Do not add an arbitrary resistor solely to suppress the message. A corrected circuit resolved a historical zero-resistance-loop report without the proposed artificial resistance.
A weak reference or finite impedance may be physically appropriate for some models, but it changes the circuit. Document and validate that choice rather than treating it as a universal solver repair.
