PSpice User Guide Creating and editing models October 2019 254 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Handling smoke information using the Model Editor You can use the Model Editor to add smoke information to a device type supported by the Model Editor. This feature is available only if you have PSpice Advanced Analysis installed. Using the Model Editor, you can: ■ Add smoke information PSpice models. ■ Create template-base PSpice models with smoke information. ■ Edit smoke information for the device types supported by the Model Editor. Adding smoke information If you have Advanced Analysis installed, an extra tab, the Smoke tab, appears next to the Simulation tab. Adding smoke information involves specifying the maximum operating conditions for different smoke parameters. Smoke parameters are the tests that are predefined in the device template file. These tests are performed between two different nodes of the device. The node to port mapping information for the device is available in the Test Node Mapping frame. The information in the Test Node Mapping frame cannot be edited for template-based models. For models based on device characteristic curves, this information is editable. The Test Node Mapping information is not editable for template-based models. This is to avoid risk of smoke information getting out of sync with the smoke test. See Smoke parameters on page 260 Adding smoke information to PSpice models Adding smoke information to PSpice models enable you to use the models for Advanced Analysis smoke run. Using the Model Editor, you can add smoke information only to the device types supported by the Model Editor.
