Files that PSpice A/D generates After reading the circuit file, netlist file, model libraries, and any other required inputs, PSpice A/D starts the simulation. As simulation progresses, PSpice A/D saves results to two files—the data file and the PSpice output file. Waveform data file The data file contains simulation results that can be displayed graphically. PSpice A/D reads this file automatically and displays waveforms reflecting circuit response at nets, pins, and parts that you marked in your schematic (cross-probing). You can set up your design so PSpice A/D displays the results as the simulation progresses or after the simulation completes. For a description of how to display simulation results, see Part four: Viewing results. For a description of the waveform analyzer program, see What is waveform analysis? on page 41. After PSpice A/D has read the data file and displays the initial set of results, you can add more waveforms and perform post-simulation analysis of the data. There are two ways to add waveforms to the display: ■ From within PSpice A/D, by specifying trace expressions. ■ From within the design entry tool, by cross-probing. PSpice output file The PSpice A/D output file is an ASCII text file that contains: ■ the netlist representation of the circuit, ■ the PSpice A/D command syntax for simulation commands and options (like the enabled analyses), ■ simulation results, and ■ warning and error messages for problems encountered during read-in or simulation. Its content is determined by:
