Overview of Simulation Using PSpice

To simulate your design in PSpice:

  1. Ensure that you have PSpice license.
  2. Create a design using parts that can be simulated.
    While creating the designs for simulation, you need to use parts that PSpice can simulate. These parts are available in the PSpice part libraries. You can also associate PSpice models to Capture parts to be able to simulate the parts. A part needs to have an associated model (Implementation type = PSpice Model) and property defined to simulate the part in PSpice. 
  3. Create a simulation profile.
    After completing the design circuit, you can create a simulation profile using the Simulation Settings dialog box. While creating a simulation profile, specify the types of analysis type and its various parameters, configuration file settings, and so on.
  4. Run PSpice and view results.
    When you run PSpice from Capture, a netlist is generated and the PSpice probe window appears. The netlist contains the connectivity information and the analyses type. To view the output of a simulation, you can:
