Relays in Spice are just (DC) voltage-controlled switches. For AC
just write your own behavioral model ;-)
Or just add a peak detector in front of the relay model.
Thanks, but I'm only new to Multisim (or simulation software of any kind),
so I would have no idea how to do either of those.

Oh, one ascii drawing, that's not only conceptual but also works ?-)

Do you have any component value?

60Hz ?

Diode: 1N4148, 1N4001, what have you
Capacitor: 1uF
Resistor: 510K


510K? It's E24. I don't have that in my (spice) junk box.
