PSpice A/D User Guide Setting up analyses and starting simulation October 2019 446 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 2022 All Rights Reserved. select the Display PSpice Names option of the PSpice Simulator menu. Note: The $PSPICE_LOCATION property is not passed to the board and the Packager flow does not write the $PSPICE_LOCATION attribute. Therefore, the simulation flow remains intact. The PSpice netlister makes intelligent decisions to create the attributes, under the following conditions: New Design If you run PSpice netlister in a new design, PSpice netlister generates both $LOCATION and $PSPICE_LOCATION. Split Part PSpice netlister combines the different sections of a split part and netlists them as a single instance based on the SPLIT_INST and LOCATION properties. The value of SPLIT_INST needs to be TRUE for a section to be recognized as belonging to a split part. The value of LOCATION identifies the sections belonging to one split part. Alternatively, the property SPLIT_INST_NAME can be used in place of the two properties SPLIT_INST and LOCATION. All sections of a split part needs to have the same value for SPLIT_INST_NAME if this property is used. A requirement for netlister to be successful in recognizing split parts is that all sections should be in the same hierarchy level. However, the sections can be spread across different pages at the same level. In addition, the PSPICETEMPLATE property of each section must have the pins for all the sections of the split part. The following conditions can result in either warning or an error: ■ If PSPICETEMPLATE is missing from any of the sections, netlist is not created and an error message is displayed. ■ If PSPICETEMPLATE has different values for the sections of a split part, netlist is not created and an error message is displayed.
