    Hi Yu-Je,

    Not sure. Seems to be working fine on my computer:

    Hi JC,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Unfortunately, I still could not see the simulation result on my computer. When I push "Run PSpice" button, I always see the error message:

    In addition, there are two "unables" in the Session Log:

     

    The location of PSpice.ini file is "C:\cds_spb_home\cdssetup\OrCAD_PSpiceTIPSpice_Install\17.4.0" but I am not sure if it is at the correct location.

    I also checked Library Path and found out that it did contain "<installation-path>/tools/pspice/library path" but I could not create the netlist.

    Thank you!

    Hi Yu-Je,

    I cannot reproduce your problem.

    Would you please share this file from your system?

    C:\cds_spb_home\cdssetup\OrCAD_PSpiceTIPSpice_Install\17.4.0\pspice.ini

    Thanks,
    JC

    Hello JC,

    Thank you for your reply.

    The attached file is my PSpice.ini file. (It seems that I cannot upload a file whose file name extension is "ini" so I change the file name extension to "txt".)

    I really appreciate your time!

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je

    Thanks Yu-Je. Do you see the file on your disk?

    Hi JC,

    I don't see devparam.txt file at the location you offered to me.

    My senior colleague suggested I removed PSpice for TI as well as its exe file and re-install PSpice for TI again. I am wondering if this is the main reason that I could not find devparam.txt.

    By the way, after I remove PSpice for TI, I could not re-install it because too many machines attempt to connect with the same access key (but I only use the same access key for 2 machines). I have already asked TI Customer Support Center for help and it said I will receive the reply within 5 days.

    Thank you for your time!

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je

    oops, I would have asked you to try coping this file to the folder and try again:

    Hi JC,

    I see. Now I still cannot re-install PSpice for TI (as the picture below shows).

    If the engineer from TI Customer Support Center helps me clear all the installations, I will try copying the file you offered to the folder and run my simulation again.

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je

    Hi Yu-Je,

    OK. Let us know what happens once you've reinstalled it.

    Thanks,

    Hi JC,

    I re-installed PSpice for Ti, but I still saw the same error message (15052) when I run my simulation.

    I checked the path you provided to me and I did see devparam.txt file at the location (as the picture below shows).

    Thank you for your time!

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je

    Hi Yu-Je,

    please check if you have the path to the file in the sim profile settings:

    Hi JC,

    I only have the path under "users":

    Hi Yu-Je,

    Please click the browse button, then select the path to devparam.txt to add it.

    Thanks,

    Hi JC,

    I have already browsed the path to devparam.txt, and then clicked "Add as Global", am I right?



    (After I added the path as global, I still saw the same error message)

    Thank you very much!

    Hi JC,

    Sorry for misunderstanding your message.

    I browsed the path to devparam.txt, and then added it to "Library Path".



    After that, my PSpice for TI can do the simulation!

    I am wondering why the path to devparam.txt was removed so that I can avoid the same problem next time.

    I really appreciate your time and your help!

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je

    Not sure what happened but maybe you have set the installing path to "C:\users\im298\..." instead of the default place (C:\Cadence\...) at some point?

    Hi JC,

    I see.

    So maybe I should set the installing path to the default place (C:\Cadence\...) instead of "C:\users\im298\..." if I want to download PSpice for TI on another laptop.

    Am I right?

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je

    Sure. Please set the environment variable "CDS_HOME" to the path you want to install in before running the installer.

    Hi JC,

    Do you mean "cds_spb_home"? I only see this repository in my C: drive.

    Hi Yu-Je,

    What is "C:\users\im298\..." for?

    Thanks,

    Hello JC,

    "C:\Users\im298\Desktop\PSPICE_for_TI" is the path where I put all my simulation projects and simulation dsn files.



    (I created "PSpice for TI" repository on the desktop.)

    Thanks,

    Yu-Je

    Well, the file is in the installation folder, not where you put your projects and design so please do not change it in the sim profile.

    Thanks,
    JC

    Hi JC,

    Excuse me. I forgot where is my installation folder. I only know there are two paths that have folders related to PSpice for TI.





    Is "CDS_HOME" a folder or a file?

    Thank you for your time!

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je

    Hi Yu-Je,

    Your first screenshot is the model library location.

    Your second screenshot is the Microsoft Windows start menu location for the shortcuts corresponding to the following menu:

    Your installation path should be C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\.

    Regards,

    JC

    Hi JC,

    Understood!

    I will make sure the installation path is C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\ when I install PSpice for TI on another computer.

    Thank you for your time and patience!

    Sincerely,

    Yu-Je
