Hi YX,
I downloaded the files from the product folder
https://www.ti.com/product/TPS54260#design-tools-simulation
and ran the simulation without any errors.
There's both an AVERAGE, and an AVERAGE Package. Please use the package as it has everything you need.
Here's my version of PSpice for TI:
I used AVERAGE Package!
And software version is the same,installed last night.
Is there some other reason?
I had used the .lib file from the Average Model and the rest of the files from the Average Package. I replaced the .lib with the Average Package .lib and reran without a problem.
Did you make any changes to the .lib file?
Can you try downloading the .lib file again and see if it'll run?
I'll check to see if the location has anything to do with this.
David
My collegue was able to reproduce your error and we've tracked down what's causing it.
Please put this file into the folder with the .lib file. That should resolve your problem.

Can you show me your file folder for your sim? It should looke something like this:
Here's the .lib file that the .libsig corresponds to. JC has verified this.
I can simulate the result.Thanks.
But I can not see phase Y axis,how to configure?
Here's a link to instructions on Bode Plots in PSpice.
There is the option to add Y axis. Just go to Plot, Add Y Axis.
Can Pspice for TI simulate buck load Transient?
Is there a user guide for buck load Transient simulation?
Thanks!
Here are some handy articles that may help in general if not your specific question regarding how to simulation buck load Transient sim.
