How to include a subckt file and model in ADE

Dear master

Q.1

When I do simulation in hspiceS of ADE, I need to include model file and another subckt file, In Setup->Environment of ADE , I filled model file in  'include file" section, So how can I include the subckt file? it looks like the model file (.lib) and subckt file (.inc) can not exist both together.

I need the generated netlist as following:

***include files

.lib '/home/models/......

.inc '/home/models/.....

Q.2

If there is CCCS component exist in shcematic, whatever the value of current gain of CCCS you filled in, the netlist generator creat this value always 1  ,what's the problem?

 

Kind regards!

Han

    Hi Han

    You can get the subckt file into your raw netlist as follows:
    a. Create a file that includes the following line:
    .inc /home/models/mySubcktfile.sp

    b. Add the above file to "Include File" field in "Setup->Environment"

    For the CCCS problem, the "Current gain" parameter which you see in the properties form is most likely for other simulators. Please go to "Options->Tool Filter" and enable only "hspiceS". The current gain should now be netlisted correctly.

    Best regards
