Error while simulating

JETEE
JETEE over 16 years ago

 Hi,

 I am new with ORCAD and its family of products. I was trying to build a Full Adder circuit and the netslist is created fine but when I try to run it using PSpice, i get the following errors:

**** RESUMING TRAN.cir ****
.END

I double checked the path and I cannot figure out the reason on how to fix the errors. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

    I am facing the same problem

    I wanna stimulate the transformer model which I developed using magnetic part editor 

    I exported the lib file with the capture lib which I have created and it was successful

    But when using it in the circuit I am getting the error as

    You should specify the location of the MYTRANSFORMER.lib in the Edit simulation profile->Configuration Files->Library.

    You can define this library as Global library or add to the current design or just to the current simulation profile.

    hi thanks for the reply 

    i have defined MYTRANSFORMER as global library but still the same error message displayed 

     

    ERROR(ORPSIM-15113): Model MYTRANSFORMER used by X_TX1.K_TX1 is undefined 

    what would be other possible solution for this .

    There are two typos in the value field of capacitors C1 and C6.

    Omit the commas after the prefix.
