I'm designing a heating coil and tank capacitor system that is power with a half bridge inverter from a 48 volt battery. In order to verify the theory of the circuit, I wanted to throw an ideal version of the system in LTSpice but I'm getting some strange results. I'm seeing the voltage of the load swing from 12mV to -12mV where I would expect the amplitude to be from -24V to 24V. The PWM signal are set to 100kHz at a 50% duty cycle. Here is a screen grab of that plot:

and the simulation circuit:

I have the LTspice file also attached. Other points look good from what I can tell such as the PWM signals:

So my question is, is the plot correct and I'm missing something fundamental here or is there something incorrect about the way I have things setup in terms of parameters?

With so many cycles shown in post #1 it is not possible to see anything like distortion on the wave form. showing only 3 cycles will provide a much more detailed image.
