Linking .net file to device part shape

How can I link a device model that isn't a .lib file to a schematic symbol shape?

I have an EPC transistor model that is defined in a .net file and I want to link that model to an existing MOSFET symbol.

How is this accomplished? I couldn't find any documentation that instructs how to do this association.

Any pointers or an example would be greatly appreciated.

.net file in pspice is a netlist file.

But if you have a PSpice model, save it as .lib and then use model editor to link this lib to an existing mosfet symbol.

In model editor go to File -> Model Import Wizard and here you can input your .lib file and provide a destination folder, then you will get the option to browse for an existing symbol to link it to you lib.

Hope it helps

I found EPC Orcad models (.olb) in Digikey website: https://www.digikey.com/en/models/16524762

A .olb is a symbol file used to place the part in the schematic. I believe the .net file you have has the model definition (.model or .subckt). If so, it is a PSpice model library file. You must modify the filename extension from .net to .lib and attach this to symbol.
