Help With Capture CIS

Hello Everybody, I have a problem using Capture CIS. I tried to simulate a very simple circuit, just a DC source, LM338K and 2 resistors, but it doesn't work :-(. A windows appears and says: "Warning Were reported, check session log". I read de the session log and says this :

Writing PSpice Flat Netlist C:\PSD_Data\Power Supply-PSpiceFiles\SCHEMATIC1\SCHEMATIC1.net WARNING [NET0093] No PSpiceTemplate for U1, ignoring/* PSpice netlist generation complete

I tried in so many ways to make it work, but nothing. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks Juan Manuel Ibañez

  • Hi!

    Maybe you're using a non-Pspice library.

    Those libraris don't have the data necessary to run PSpice.

    Use the ones who have those info. They're located underneath the rest of the Capture libraries.

     

  • Thanks for answering xmoix! Do you mean use the libraries from the following path? I'm using those ones C:\Cadence\PSD_15.1\tools\capture\library\pspice.
  •  Yes!

    Otherwise, a lot of electronic components manufacturers have their own generated Pspice models to use in your own simulations.

    You're welcome ^^

  • I'm also having difficulty when I try to run a simulation from capture.  When I run a simple circuit with resisters I get a reasonable output in biasis point with a DC Voltage.  When I substitute an  AC source in the circuit for the DC source I get zeros through out the circuit for both node voltages and branch currents.
