Check for this if the part in question is custom-built
Are there blank (or inappropriate) values for the part’s
Implementation and PSPICETEMPLATE properties?
If so, load this part into the part editor and set these
properties appropriately. One way to approach this is to
edit the part that appears in your design.
To edit the properties for the part in question
1 In the schematic page editor, select the part.
2 From the Edit menu, choose Part.
The part editor window appears with the part already
loaded.
3 From the Edit menu, choose Properties and proceed to
change the property values.
Unconfigured model, stimulus, or include files
If you see messages like these in the PSpice Simulation
Output window,
(design_name) Floating pin: refdes pin
pin_name
Floating pin: pin_id
File not found
Can’t open stimulus file
or messages like these in the PSpice output file,
Model model_name used by device_name is
undefined.
Subcircuit
subckt_name used by device_name
is undefined.
Can’t find .STIMULUS “
refdes” definition
then you may be missing a model library, stimulus file, or
include file from the configuration list, or the configured
file is not on the library path.
