ORPSIM-15141 after including model from ICA

Falessio

Hi, 

I revived an old project (>8 years old) in SPICE to make an alternative design for a future application and I started porting everything to OrCAD Capture CIS 16.6. Some things I'll keep, some I'll change. I have not been using PSPICE or similia for about the same time now and I feel like I lost the touch and I am stuck on a problem which I simply can't solve.

Simply, I want to include in my schematic alternative chips to the ones I had in my previous design and they are not in my local database (nor in my previous project). I'm therefore using the ICA to get the models. Everything goes fine until I want to simulate the thing. It always complain with the "ERROR (ORPSIM-15141) : Less than 2 connections at node bla bla". It does it for ALL (and only) the chips I get from ICA, I am surely doing something wrong, but I simply can't get around it.

My last resort is to generate the chip myself, but as we are talking O(100) chips, I think that is not very practical... What do I have to do in between "placing part in schematics" and "connecting then simulating"?

Hope I was clear and thanks for any help.

  • The parts from the ICA likely won't have any properties specifc to PSpice simulation attached, check the PSpiceTemplate property, select the Part in the schematic and right-mouse>Edit Properties, and ensure that it correctly links the schematic part and any associated PSpice library model. The message that you are getting is because of "un-modelled pins", there are pins on the schematic part that have no underlying model connection.
