what is the *.SLB library file?

bjazizadeh

Hi there.

I am having trouble when trying to undestand what the *.slb files do for you, if you want to get part models from them.

I have a list of these files from Pspice 10.5 library, and I am trying to get them work in Pspice 9.2 Lite.

There is also other files with *.plb format and .prp format. don't know what these are? what is the replacement for the

*.olb files?

 

Thank you.

  •  oldmouldy,

    thank you very much. as you said i could not open the .slb OR .plb files anywhere (except in notepad or wordpad!!!). now i have converted the .lib versions of those files to .olb version in order to use the part models. but i see most of the parts as just boxes with the i/o pins. i tried to change them so that (for example) they look like an actual transformer. but i cannot do that since the orcad capture environment has restrictions in using the grid paper. you have to put the lines/circles in specific locations. on the other hand when i open an existing model ( like an actual transformer) and i try to work on its shape i still cannot. it seems like some people previously have made the shape in another more flexible environment. why can i not do the same shape making?

    please let me know what to do?

    thanks.
