Hi everyone, i recently purchased an old book on PSpice and it tells me how to manually write a netlist and then get PSpice to output a file with the results.
The only software I can find is OrCAD 16.0 and I dont know if I can manually input a text file into PSpice from OrCAD. I know how to design a circuit on OrCAD and then simulate it, but I dont want to design a schematic, I want to manually write the netlist myself. Can I do this on OrCAD or do I need to download an older version of PSpice and if so, what do you recommend I download? Im looking for something taht lets me write the circuit file myself starting with its name and ending with .END and then process this text file using spice.
I know some of you may wonder why id want to do that when I can just get capture to do it for me but its for learning purposes and Id like to know how the netlists work, its like teaching a child how to use a calculator but not teaching them how to add or subtract so id rather know whats going on behind the scenes and im interetsed to see how it used to be done.
Thanks in advance for any help, any links to old spice simulators that allow you to put your own text file in will be appreciated. Thanks and all the best
