PSpice User Guide Importing Spice Models October 2019 859 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Important If the downloaded Spice model is of .SUBCKT type, the Model Editor generates a rectangular symbol. You can edit the Model Editor generated symbol shapes. For more information, see Editing Model Editor created symbols. Using symbols from an existing symbol library Instead of creating a new symbol from scratch, you can use a symbol from an existing part library, and associate it with the downloaded model. Using symbols from an existing library involves following steps: ■ Copying the symbol ❑ Copying parts within the same library ❑ Copying a part to another library ■ Modifying the IMPLEMENTATION property Before you can use a part symbol from an existing OLB, you need to know the type of simulation model attached with the source part. If the original part symbol is attached to a device characteristic curves-based PSpice model, you only need to modify the implementation property. In case the original part symbol is attached to a template-based PSpice model, you will need to add the IMPLEMENTATION and the PSPICETEMPLATE property to the copied model. Caution It is recommended that unless you are very comfortable with different types of simulation models supported by PSpice, you should avoid situations where PSPICETEMPLATE property needs to be changed. You can either create symbols using the Model Editor or if you want to copy a symbol, select a symbol of same type and change the IMPLEMENTATION property.
