Configuring model libraries
Although model libraries are usually configured for you,
there are things that you sometimes must do yourself.
These are:
• adding new model libraries that were created outside
of Capture or the Model Editor
• changing the global or design scope of a model library
• changing the library search order
• changing or adding directory search paths
The Libraries and Include Files tabs
The Libraries and Include Files tabs of the Simulation
Settings dialog box are where you can add, change, and
remove model libraries and include files from the
configuration or resequence the search order.
Note
Removing a library in this dialog box means that you are removing
the model library from the configured list. The library still exists on
your computer and you can add it back to the configuration later.
To display the Libraries tab
1 In PSpice, from the Simulation menu, choose Edit
Simulation Settings.
2 Click the Libraries tab.
The Library Files list shows the model libraries that
PSpice searches for definitions matching the parts in
your design. Files showing an asterisk ( * ) after their
name have global scope; files with names left
unmarked have design scope.
The buttons for adding model libraries to the
configuration follow the same local/global syntax
convention. Click one of the following:

You can manually add design and global
include files to your configuration using the
Add to Design and Add as Global buttons,
respectively.
The Stimulus tab contains stimulus files. See
Configuring stimulus files
on
page 10-254
for more information.
