It will convert any TEMPLATE properties to the SIMetrix format while preserving the original PSpice template under a different name.

The translator will convert symbols, parts and wires and display them in a manner that is as close as reasonably possible to the original schematic.

Note that the schematic translator only uses symbols in the PSpice libraries specified using the procedure described above. This will make the symbols available for use with SIMetrix. You can install PSpice symbol libraries in the same way as SIMetrix symbol libraries. Installing PSpice Libraries for Use with SIMetrix Once the translator has been configured, simply open the PSpice schematic in the same way as you would one created by SIMetrix. For information see the on-line help topic Schematic Editor > PSpice Schematics Translation. Note that PSpice schematics do not contain local copies of their symbols (unlike SIMetrix) so the symbol libraries are essential to perform any schematic translation. If you do not have PSpice on your system then you will need to create a PSPICE.INI file that contains the location of the PSpice symbol libraries. For more information see the on-line help topic Schematic Editor > PSpice Schematics Translation.

Some earlier versions used different inifile section names and in these cases the file will need to be manually edited. Note we have only tested version 9.2 and the evaluation version 8.0. For example MSIM.INI located in the windows directory. Earlier versions stored their settings in a similar manner but the file name was different and in a different location. The above assumes you are using version 9 of PSpice. C:\ Program Files\ Orcad\ PSpice\ PSPICE.INI. This is usually at the root folder for PSpice e.g. This is simply a matter of specifying the location of the PSPICE.INI file which PSpice uses to store symbol library locations. It still functions but will be removed from future versions.īefore using this facility, it must be configured. Important: this feature is now deprecated and no longer supported. SIMetrix is not able to read Orcad Capture schematics. Current PSpice releases use Orcad Capture for schematic entry. 'Schematics' is the original MicroSim schematic editor but is no longer supported. SIMetrix can read schematic files created by the PSpice 'Schematics' program.
