Is there any in built mechanism to simulate a charged capacitor in simulation software like Multisim or Proteus?

If not, is there any alternative method for simulation of partially charged Capacitors?

    why the minus vote? isn't this just a question of whether you can specify initial state of energy-storing components? – Rob Starling Aug 12 '13 at 15:49
  • Not sure about those programs, but in some programs you can define a floating voltage source. Perhaps putting one of those in series with the cap will have the desired effect? – supercat Aug 12 '13 at 18:01
  • At least on Proteus 8.1 version, there's a real capacitor model named as REALCAP in generic capacitors section which you can set its initial voltage charge. – Anicklador Oct 10 '16 at 18:44

You can set initial conditions with SPICE directives
