A block diagram for the Ground component is given in Table 1.

The scope of the Ground component can be:
per device, in this case all nodes with ground components will be shorted,
or
per core (SPC), in this case each core can have a ground component.
The first option is the default behavior of a ground component. As a consequence, all
ground components must be constrained to a single core of the model. When the second option is
desirable, enable the Set Ground component scope to core property and
then, ground components from different cores will not be shorted.This property is located in the Circuit Solver settings tab in
the Model Settings window as shown in Figure 1.Figure 1. Circuit Solver settings tab in Model settings window

Schematic Editor, or when you should (or shouldn't) use it, please refer to our Knowledgebase article on the topic.
