Handling duplicate model names
If your model libraries contain duplicate model names,
PSpice always uses the first model it finds. This means
you might need to resequence the search order to make
sure PSpice uses the model that you want. See Changing
model library search order on page 4-124.
Note PSpice searches design libraries before global libraries, so if the
new model you want to use is specific to your design and the
duplicate definition is global, you do not need to make any
changes.
Adding model libraries to the configuration
New libraries are added above the selected library name
in the Library Files list box.
To add model libraries to the configuration
1
From the Simulation menu, choose Edit Simulation
Settings, then click the Libraries tab.
2
Click the library name positioned one entry below
where you want to add the new library.
3
In the Filename text box, either:
• type the name of the model library, or
• click Browse to locate and select the library.
4
Do one of the following:
•
If the model definitions are for use in the current
design only, click the Add to Design button.
•
If the model definitions are for global use in any
schematic, click the Add as Global button instead.
5
Click OK.
