Using the Model Editor to edit models
99
Running the Model Editor alone
Run the Model Editor alone if you want to do any of the
following:
• create a model and use the model in any design (and
automatically create a part),
• create a model and have the model definition available
to any design (without creating a part), or
• examine or verify the characteristics of a given model
without using PSpice.
Running the Model Editor alone means that the model
you are creating or examining is not currently tied to a
part instance on your schematic page or to a part editing
session.
Note
You can only edit models for device types that the Model Editor
supports. See Model Editor-supported device types on
page 4-95 for details.

1 From the Start menu, point to the OrCAD program
folder, then choose Model Editor.

an existing or new model library name.

Import to load a model.
