Testing non-linear capacitors

Thank you very much for the excellent explanation.
I sadly realize now that after so many years using spice-based simulators I did not yet understand the meaning of the uic option.
I thought that without adding uic spice calculates the initial dc operating point under zero voltage and zero current condition in caps and inductors but when you use initial conditions in caps and inductors you had to add uic so that spice would calculate the initial operating point under the selected initial conditions.
Now I see the difference between the use or not of uic. Thank you very much!
