Editing model text
tolerances to model parameters for Monte Carlo or
sensitivity/worst-case analysis.
Editing .SUBCKT definitions
For definitions implemented as subcircuit netlists using
PSpice .SUBCKT syntax, the model editor displays the
subcircuit syntax exactly as it appears in the model
library. The Model Editor also includes all of the
comments immediately before or after the subcircuit
definition.
Changing the model name
You can change the model name directly in the PSpice
.MODEL or .SUBCKT syntax, but double-check that the
new name does not conflict with models already
contained in the libraries.
Note
If you do create a model with the same name as another model and
want PSpice to always use your model, make sure the configured
model libraries are ordered so your definition precedes any other
definitions.
To find out more about instance model
naming conventions, see What is an
instance model? on page 4-112.
To find out more about search order in the
model library, see Changing model
library search order on
page 4-124.
Starting the Model Editor
from the schematic page editor in Capture
Start the model editor from the schematic page editor in
Capture when you want to:
•
define tolerances on model parameters for statistical
analyses,
•
test behavior variations on a part, or
•
refine a model before making it available to all
designs.
You can also use the model editor to view
the syntax for a model definition. When
you are finished viewing, be sure to quit the
Model Editor without saving the library, so
the schematic page editor does not create
an instance model.
This means editing models for part instances in your
design. When you select a part instance and edit its model,
the schematic page editor automatically creates an instance
model that you can then change.
