To find out more, see this... ■ The model libraries, stimulus files, and include files are configured. Configuring model libraries on page 244 ■ The parts you are using have models. Unmodeled parts on page 178 and Defining part properties needed for simulation on page 308 ■ You are not using unmodeled pins. Unmodeled pins on page 184 ■ You have defined the grounds. Missing ground on page 184 ■ Every analog net has a DC path to ground. Missing DC path to ground on page 185 ■ The part template is correct.
