PSpice User Guide Creating parts for models October 2019 307 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. 3. From the Implementation Type drop-down list, select PSpice Model. 4. Click on the empty cell under the Implementation column, and type the name of the model to attach to the part. Note: You do not need to enter an Implementation Path because PSpice searches for the model in the list of model libraries you configure for this project. 5. Click Apply to update the design, then close the Parts spreadsheet. Caution In case you want to reuse the part symbol that was originally attached to a characteristic curve-based model, with a template-based simulation model, you must delete the PSPICETEMPLATE property from the part symbol. Example: Consider a scenario where you have two simulation models for a bipolar transistor, with the same name 2n2222 in two different libraries. First simulation model is based on characteristic curves and the second based on PSpice templates. Both the simulation models have same name, therefore the same value for the IMPLEMENTATION property. The simulation model based on characteristic curves, which is of .MODEL type, is used in a schematic design. The part symbol for the bipolar transistor will have the IMPLEMENTAION property set to Q2n2222 and the PSPICETEMPLATE property attached to it. Now modify the BJT symbol by attaching a template-based model to the symbol. The value of the IMPLEMENTATION property will not change because the name of the template-based model is same as that of the characteristic curves-based model. Therefore, to ensure that the correct model is used during simulation, you must delete the PSPICETEMPLATE property from the part symbol and configure the library containing the template-based BJT model. Note: You can check whether the right model is being used or not, by viewing the simulation netlist generated by PSpice. The simulation netlist for a .MODEL type BJT model starts with Q,
