Variable Capacitor (C_var) simulation?

BigGing432

Hi, 

I cannot seem to figure out how to properly parametrize the variable capacitor (C_var) in OrCAD PSpice. If someone could please assist me in this? 

Maybe I'm missing something, but there seems to be no place to input various capacitance values as a function of time? 

I was able to get the voltage controlled capacitor to work, but unfortunately it wont work for my application.

I need to be able to simulate capacitance change for the entire duration of my simulation! 

If someone could please help that would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks
