Chapter 7 Setting up analyses and starting simulation
206
Starting a simulation
After you have used Capture to enter your circuit design
and have set up the analyses to be performed, you can
start a simulation by choosing Run from the PSpice menu.
When you enter and set up your circuit this way, Capture
automatically generates the simulation files and starts
PSpice.
There may be situations, however, when you want to run
PSpice outside of Capture. You may want to simulate a
circuit that was not created in Capture, for example, or
you may want to run simulations of multiple circuits in
batch mode.
This section includes the following:
• Starting a simulation from Capture, below
• Starting a simulation outside of Capture on page 7-207
• Setting up batch simulations on page 7-207
• The PSpice simulation window on page 7-208
Starting a simulation from Capture
After you have set up the analyses for the circuit, you can
start a simulation from Capture in either of the following
ways:
• From the PSpice menu select Run.
•
Click the Simulate button on the PSpice toolbar.
