Hi, can anyone tell me how to enter a circuit as a netlist in orcad and simulate it? I tried entering it in textfile with .cir extension but the simulation comes back with "simulation aborted because no device was found in schematic". thanks.

 

Did you specify the library used?

 

Can you post the your netlist?

 

Hi, the following is my netlist

Regulator with Vswitch
.SUBCKT Ideal_Diode anode cathode
Vx anode int DC 0V
Ed int cathode TABLE {I(Vx)}=(-0.01A,-30V) (0A,0V)
.ENDS
Vpls 10 0 PULSE(0V 2V 0s 1us 1us 49us 100us)
Rpls 10 0 1MEG
Vdc 1 0 DC 20V
Sw1 1 2 10 0 Smod
Xd 0 2 Ideal_Diode
.MODEL Smod VSWITCH(Ron=1m Roff=1MEG Von=1V Voff=0V)
Lf 2 3 250uH IC=4.00A
Cf 3 0 50uF IC=10.0V
RL 3 0 2.0
.PROBE
.TRAN 1us 1ms 0us 1us UIC
.END

 

It didn't run for me as well. Do you have the sub circuit at the top? Can you place it above ".probe"? Doing that gave me an error free run.
