How to add the .net file provided by EPC for simulation

KW202603107421

When simulating the LMG1210, I want to use real GaN switches in the simulation. However, for models like the EPC2204, the manufacturer only provides a .net file. After changing the file extension to .lib, capitalizing .subckt and .ends, and appending EPC2204A, the simulation model still cannot be read.

    The provided .net file seems to work for me. One thing that I did change was replace the "tab" characters in the original with single spaces and saved the modified file with a .lib file extension. (No changes to casing) Start Model Editor, open the new .lib file, File>Save and Export the LIB to a Capture .OLB. Place the created part in a PSpice schematic from the OLB, add a Design reference to the new .lib file in the Simulation Profile and run. The test circuit was trivial but the results looked fine. (Certainly no issues reading the model text)
