Using the Model Editor to create
parts
If you want to run the Model Editor and enable automatic
creation of parts for any model that you create or change,
then run the Model Editor alone. This means any models
you create are not tied to the current design or to a part
editing session.
Note If you open an existing model library, the Model Editor creates
parts for only the models that you change or add to it.
Starting the Model Editor
To start the Model Editor alone
1
From the Windows Start menu, point to the OrCAD
Release 9 program folder, then choose PSpice Model
Editor.
2
From the File menu, choose Open or New, and enter
an existing or new model library name.
3
In the Models List frame, select the name of a model to
display it for editing in the Spec Entry frame.
To start the Model Editor from within Capture
1
In the schematic page editor, select the part whose
model you want to edit.
2
From the Edit menu, choose PSpice Model.
The Model Editor starts with the model loaded for
editing.
