Error message when simulating a circuit created in Orcad 16.6

Hello,


I created a circuit as an amplifier in "PSpice Model Editor" from OrCAD 16.6, but when I try to simulate it in "Capture" I have the following error message: "Error(ORPSIM-15141)/ Less than to connections at node NC"


Can you help me, please, to understand this message and solve it?


Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like you have a wire named NC that doesn't go anywhere in the design, this might be down to a Pin named NC of type "Power" on a part. You could try checking the netlist generated and see if that gives you any clue as to the issue. Failing that, you could try File>Archive Project, create a single file ZIP of the project and post it "somewhere" so that the actual design data could be checked.

    Thank you for your reply.
    In fact, I check the circuit and netlist but I do not find this "NC".
    Moreover, i draw the same circuit and i do the same method in an earlier version of ORCAD and it works very well. But I do not know what is the problem with this version of 16.6.
