The tolerance information is added in the Simulation Parameters frame but smoke information can be added or modified only if you have Advanced Analysis installed. See Adding tolerance information on page 210 To know more about how to add smoke information to a model using the Model Editor, see Handling smoke information using the Model Editor on page 254. Device characteristic curves-based models vs. Template-based models Table 4-1 highlights the differences between two types of simulation models. Table 4-1 Differences between device characteristic curves-based and template-based models Device characteristic curves-based PSpice models Template-based PSpice models They are based on device characteristic curves. Device characteristic curves can be obtained from device datasheets. They are based on PSpice-provided templates. They cannot be used for Advanced Analysis Sensitivity, Monte Carlo, and Optimizer runs. They can be used for Advanced Analysis smoke test only if smoke information is explicitly added. They can be used for all Advanced Analysis runs, such as Sensitivity, Smoke, Monte Carlo, and Optimizer. All simulation information is contained in the model itself. Models are wrappers to a template model file. Therefore, both the model and the template model are required for simulation.
