Missing .lib files?

Sarkreth

Hello,

I'm trying to simulate a fairly simple two-BJT amplifier, which uses MPSA18 transistors, which I found with the "transistor.olb" library. When I try to simulate, though, I get these:

WARNING(ORNET-1119): No PSpiceTemplate for Q1, ignoring

WARNING(ORNET-1119): No PSpiceTemplate for Q2, ignoring

I suspect this is because there is no corresponding "transistor.lib" file in my C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\library folder. In fact, there aren't nearly as many .lib files as there are .olb files.

Is there somewhere I can find the library(ies) I need, or am I doomed to a limited number of models since I'm using the Lite version of Capture? Or am I having a completely different problem? Thanks a ton.

    You are using the Lite version so, strictly, only the parts in the EVAL.OLB and models EVAL.LIB are supported. You could try adding the Bipolar.olb from the tools\Capture\library\PSpice directory and place the part from there. Then Edit the Simulation Profile, Configuration Files tab, Library selection on the left, use the upper Browse button to locate the Bipolar.lib from the tools\PSpice\library directory, select this and then use the "Add to Design" button to add the simulation models. Note that, since you have a Lite version, you may need to add the LIB file back to the Simulation Profile each time that design is opened before the simulation is run since the configuration may be reset for the Lite installation.
