Schematics
1
In Schematics, from the Tools menu, select Run Optimizer.
If you have an active schematic loaded into the Schematic
Editor when you select Run Optimizer, any optimization
parameters defined with the OPTPARAM symbol and any
existing setup information contained in the corresponding
optimization file (
.opt) are automatically loaded into the
PSpice Optimizer.
If no schematic is active, the PSpice Optimizer activates
without an optimization setup. Instead, you must load an
optimization file directly into the optimizer as described in
Loading a Different Optimization File
on page 3-4.
