ERROR(PSPMI-31): Catalog file orPSpMatlabAddTrace.xml does not exist.

Hi,

I use PSpice 17.2 with MATLAB R2016b with simulink.

When I tried to simulate mosckt.mdl in C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\pspice\capture_samples\SLPSdemos\Tutor

Then Plot windows showed a graph, but 4 pop-up messages appeared sequentially.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ERROR(PSPMI-31): Catalog file orPSpMatlabAddTrace.xml does not exist.

This file should be there in either the <cdsroot>/share/cdssetup/smi/orpsim or in the CDS_SITE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same errors with orPSpFRA.xml, orPSpAddTrace.xml, orPSPMatlab.xml...

 

So I tried to add PATH c:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\share\cdssetup\smi\orpsim

and restarted MATLAB.

But it worked only once.

When I rebooted PC then the error occured again.

After I closed that simulink, not exited Matlab, re-opened the mosckt.mdl and simulate again,

then another error occured.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simulation can not be completed.
    -> Try changing Convergence parameters.
An error occurred while running the simulation and the simulation was terminated
Caused by:
Error reported by S-function 'slpsblk' in 'mosckt/SLPS/S':

*** Initialization Error in SLPS ***

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the plot did NOT showed graph at this time.

When I exit Matlab after these things, MATLAB system error occured.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MATLAB has encountered an internal problem and needs to close.

The unsaved information you were working on may be lost.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I think everything is fine if I solve the xml file pick up problem.

Which ISR version or Cadence 17.2 installation you are working with?

I tried running the design at my end – it seems to work fine. I opened mosckt.mdl and run simulation in MATLAB and I can see the plot.

Hello,

I assume with your previous messages, that Simulink and PSpice are well configured, but you are getting such issues when you simulate the SLPS Tutor project. Am I right? Can you simulate other Cadence SLPS examples many times?

I can reproduce such problem:

1. I open Tutor Project.

2. I click on the SLPS Symbol in order to open the OrCAD Capture Project to see the circuit.

3. I configure the inputs and outputs.

4. I simulate and it works properly.

5. I try to simulate again the same project and MATLAB crashes.

I do not get this issue if I simulate other Cadence SLPS examples. I am also using OrCAD Capture 17.2 Hotfix 009 and MATLAB R2016b.

This issue will be analyzed. 

Have a nice day.

With your earlier mails, I think Simulink and PSpice are properly configured, however you are experiencing problems when simulating the SLPS Tutor project.
