How to use POWERDC .SUBCKT in PSPICE simulation

effedipi over 5 years ago

Hello,

I have exracted a resistance network that models one trace on my PCB with PowerDC.

The result is a .ckt file that contains a spice subcircuit with 12 ports.

How can I use this subcircuit in a schematic simulation? I cannot find any documentation...

Thanks a lot

I think using this subcircuit may not give you accurate results. If you have subcircuit file you need to load the file into model editor and build a model out of it and use the file in schematic simulation. Model editor takes in .ibs file as input. Rename the file to .txt and open with model editor. If it works fine then export the model as library and use in schematics. Hope this helps

HI AvengerThanos

Indeed what I did was to rename it as .lib, open it wirh model editor and export the component.

This procedure seems to work fine.

Thanks
