Monte Carlo simulation automatically modifies component tolerances？

Zhengzhi Wang

When performing Monte Carlo simulation to modify the tolerances of capacitors and resistors, I modified them manually.

For example: manually modify from 10% to 5%, and then run the simulation to see if the results meet the requirements.

Is there a way to automatically change the tolerance value from 1%, 5%, and 10%, and after the run is completed, I can observe the output simulation results in these situations at once.

Thank you very much!

    One way to achieve this could be running Pspice in batch mode. You will need to create multiple .cir files each dedicated to a tolerance value. In the batch file you can call these cir files one by one.

    To run this, the "psp_cmd.exe" executable is called from the command line. This executable resides in the same location as 'pspice.exe'.

    Example: <CDS_INST_DIR>\tools\pspice\psp_cmd.exe -r <path to cir file>

    Hope this helps.
