It is also a good idea to include a bleeder resistor in the "Load" position of the power supply to drain the capacitors for safety reasons when you build a power supply. With a bleeder resistor in place, any energy stored in the capacitors will discharge when the power is turned off, so that the capacitors cannot accidentally shock or even kill you, depending on the voltage and charge.

The bleeder resistor will add to the power supply current draw so the bleeder resistor current needs to be added to your circuit current requirement in order to properly model your power supply.
