individual Component level Custom derating files

chadga

Hi,

I am using OrCAD Pspice Plus 17.2 version. In smoke analysis, i want to assign one derating factor for a set of resistors and another derating factor for the rest of the resistors. How can this be done.

When i go to create a custom derating file, i can provide derating values globally for a resistor. I want to assign different individual values for each component. 

Kindly help me on this issue.

Regards,

Chadga

    You can add a DERATE_TYPE property to the part and reference your custom derating parameters. See the Power Users section in the documentation on Smoke.
