Example: An include file that contains definitions, using the PSpice .FUNC command, for functions that you want to use in numeric expressions elsewhere in your design. You can create an include file using any text editor, such as Notepad. Typically, include file names have an .INC extension. Configuring model library, stimulus, and include files PSpice searches model libraries, stimulus files, and include files for any information it needs to complete the definition of a part or to run a simulation. The files that PSpice searches depend on how you configure your model libraries and other files. Much of the configuration is set up for you automatically, however, you can do the following yourself: ■ Add and delete files from the configuration. ■ Change the scope of a file: that is, whether the file applies to one profile only, one design only (local) or to any design (global). ■ Change the search order. Libraries are configured by editing the simulation profile. From the PSpice menu in design entry tool, choose Edit Simulation Profile, click the Configuration Files tab in the Simulation Settings dialog box, then click Library in the Category field. To find out more, refer to the OrCAD Capture User Guide or the Design Entry HDL User Guide. Files that PSpice generates After reading the circuit file, netlist file, model libraries, and any other required inputs, PSpice starts the simulation. As simulation progresses, PSpice saves results to two files—the data file and the PSpice output file.
