Analysis types
PSpice supports analyses that can simulate analog-only
circuits.
Table 2
provides a summary of the available PSpice
analyses and the corresponding Analysis type options
where the analysis parameters are specified. In Capture,
switch to the PSpice view, then from the PSpice menu,
choose New Simulation Profile .
