Parametric Sweep analysis issue

Gerry95
Gerry95 over 6 years ago

Hi community,

I designed a DC/DC boost converter with a RLD snubber. I ran a parametric sweep to study how the snubber inductor influences the reverse recovery current of the main diode. I chose different inductance values but at the end of the simulation, I noticed a weird behaviour highligthed in the picture below. In particular the tool shows  other values of inductance of a previous simulation, even if I run again the simulation deleting these values, PSpice still continues to show them without evaluating their waveform. Maybe I was mistaken with the settings of the simulation, I am not sure. Could someone help me to undestand how to fix this issue?

Thank you in advance,

Gerry

The figure below shows the issue I talked before.

    You don't say which version you are running. I checked this out with 17.2-2016.s057 and I am not seeing any issues like this so, it could be possible that the problem is related to the exact version of PSpice that you are using.

    It's also fine for me with 16.6-2016.s112. There were 113 versions of 16.6 between the Base Release and the last hotfix that was issued. As I previously mentioned, it could be possible that the problem is related to the exact version of PSpice that you are running.
