How to add PSpice model to CIS component?

Floris

Hey community hope you can help me with this one:

How can I add PSpice Model to the CIS database?

I have managed to get an op-amp simulating, but how can this be done without manual adding .lib file to the project?

This is how i do it now:

  1. associate PSpice model to symbol in the symbol library file
  2. add component to schematic via cis
  3. add .lib file for PSpice model to project ( PSpice->Edit Simulation Profile->Configuration Files->Library->Browse.. -> Select .lib and click Add to Design)

this last point needs to be done every time when someone wants to simulate a component, how can this be obtained from the database?

    You may want to create a global lib, keep all such models in this and configure that lib in your setup once. This will eliminate the need of last step (step 3). Since CIS is not aware of your simulation model, this can not be put in effect as database operation.

    first, thanks for your reply!
    But it is a bit odd, why is there a 'Property Type' called 'PSpice_Model' in the CIS configuration?
    Why can't I just point to the right model, like I do with footprints?

    I am pleased to find that you found it difficult to pirate and disappointed that you actually tried.

    However Texas instruments has partnered with Cadence and is now offering a free version of pspice. (look at this site https://www.ti.com/tool/PSPICE-FOR-TI) i dont know how much has been crippled 

    i took the honourable option of actually paying for a licence along with OrCad Professional.

    I hope this free option works for you i understand you have to obtain a licence file every year but it is free good luck
