PSPICE-FOR-TI: Simuation can not launch

Ryuuichi machida

Hello,

Today, I was using Pspice for TI (2021 version), but suddenly, I got following error when I launch simulation.

I could not understand why this happened, so at first, I re-installed Pspice for TI (Version is updated to 2022)
However, I also get same error even though I performed un-install and re-install.

Could you please advice to avoid this error ?

Hello JC,

I collected data, but how I should share it to you ?
If possible, I want to send it to directly not post on E2E.

Hi,

No. We were able to run the simulation without any problem. We need two more files from you. please zip up the folders "C:\cds_spb_home\cdssetup\OrCAD_PSpiceTIPSpice_Install" and "C:\cds_spb_home\cdssetup\ORCAD_CAPTURETIPSpice_Install" and share both.

After that, you can rename these folders (as backups) and start PSpice for TI again, then try running the simulation.

Thanks,
JC

Hello JC,

I attached your requested folders to PM.
Please confirm.
And I will check following sentence later.

Hello JC,

I could run simulation correctly after changing name of above two folders.
And, it seems simulation setting time which I pointed out following thread also resolved.

Thank you !

Hi Ryuuichi,

Glad to hear that. To find out the root cause, you just need to compare the current content of the folders vs. those you renamed.

If you want, zip up the two folders and I can try comparing them.

Thanks,
JC
