How to disable sections of OrCAD Capture schematics so they are not simulated?

YP202407316539

In PSPICE, is there a way to run a simulation on only a portion of the circuit without deleting the rest?

What I’d like to do is keep the full schematic as it is, but selectively disable certain components or sections of the circuit so that they are ignored during simulation.

In other words, I don’t want to remove them from the schematic; I just want to turn them off temporarily and run the simulation on the remaining active parts of the circuit.

Is there a feature or recommended method to achieve this in PSPICE?

    With Capture CIS (CIS Option or PSpice Designer Plus) and PSpice licensed, you can create a Testbench, which takes a copy of the Design object, and then exclude all but enabled circuitry from the simulation.
