!Start circuit definition
!
! We start with a capacitor and switch with the parameters based on the
! Thor II brick with the 80 nF version of the GA 35426M Capacitor 40 nF,
! 15 nH, 0.13  ESR. We will use a total inductance of 160 nH for the brink
! that includes the inductance of the feeds leading to the load and the
! inductance of the load.
!
! We will use the Martin Switch model for the Kinetech Switch
!
! The charge voltage will be 85 kV. This is the projected normal operating
! point for Z15.

! Switch resistance - Martin Model and switch inductance - measured
! 0.375 gap and 242 psia air
!
! Initial switch resistance was chosen to be higher than that calculated in the first
! few time steps and to appear monotoniccally decreasing in plots
