Problems with no pspice template

Hi,

 

I am trying to build a half wave rectifier however when i try to proceed with the simulation i am getting several errors and not quite sure how to resolve them. The error i am getting is in regard my diode (WARNING(ORNET-1119): No PSpiceTemplate for D1, ignoring ) Any help would be deeply appreciated

here is the simulation log

    It seems that you have used the components from ../tools/capture/library/folder for schematic entries, instead you should use parts from libraries present under .../tools/capture/library/PSpice folder. In particular you should use .../tools/capture/library/PSpice/eval.olb, .../tools/capture/library/PSpice/analog.olb, .../tools/capture/library/PSpice/breakout.olb for circuit simulation using Capture PSpice Lite version. You should replace D1 diode by equivalent part from .../tools/capture/library/PSpice/eval.olb to fix ORNET-1119 warning.

     

    Additionally you need to insert a small series resistance (may be 1mOhm) between Sine sourceV3 and transformer primary terminal. Your current circuit configuration is leading to a condition (voltage sources shorted with inductor), which is not supported in SPICE. Adding a series resistance would avoid this condition.
