Weihao,

I have already addressed this in the provate message that you sent to me buut I will reiteate here for other members.

Please refer to this FAQ for this error. You will need the unencrypted model.

Nikhil Gupta,
Thank you very much. I have read your link: e2e.ti.com/.../692613
Now I want to make sure that the encrypted Spice model can not be imported to Tina even the Spice model is download from Ti official website?
And if so, how can I do a bode plot with Ti power controller in simulation when there are no both unencrypted model and Tina-Ti average model?
Thanks again!

HI Weihao,

"Now I want to make sure that the encrypted Spice model can not be imported to Tina even the Spice model is download from Ti official website?"

As the post said, you can not import encrypted models from one simulator to another. You will need the unencrypted model for this. Please contact TI support through email or phone option and they will guide you on next steps.
