Hi everyone,
I'm struggling with an "invalid number" error in PSpice A/D, which I couldn't resolve by myself :(
The message I get looks like this:
*Libraries: * Profile Libraries : * Local Libraries : * From [PSPICE NETLIST] section of C:\trololololololololo\SPB_Data\cdssetup\OrCAD_PSpice/16.6.0/PSpice.ini file: .lib "nom.lib" *Analysis directives: .DC LIN PARAM V(UGS) -3V -0.1V 0.05V ----------------$ ERROR(ORPSIM-16152): Invalid number .OPTIONS ADVCONV .PROBE64 V(alias(*)) I(alias(*)) W(alias(*)) D(alias(*)) NOISE(alias(*)) .INC "..\SCHEMATIC1.net" **** INCLUDING SCHEMATIC1.net **** * source DESIGN1 G_G1 N00157 0 VALUE { -{IDSS}*PWR(1-V(N00148,0)/{Up},2) } V_UGS N00148 0 AC 10mA +SIN -1V 0.5V 1k 0 0 0 R_R1 0 N00157 1k TC=0,0 .PARAM up=-3v idss=12ma **** RESUMING JFET1.cir **** .END
It's a quite simple cirquit with a resistor, a sinusoid voltage source, a param element from the special library and a GValue element from the ABM library. The simulation profile is a DC-Sweep which raises the Source from -3V to -0.1V.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Oli

What type of simulation you want to do?
Do you want to do DC Sweep and want to sweep V_UGS?
Or You want to do time domain analysis, and you would like to sweep Sinusoidal voltage source amplitude from -3 to 0.1 in step of 0.05 voltage, meaning do transient analysis where (V_UGS) = -0.3, then -0.295 and then 0.290 and so on?
Current simulation setup is incorrect, in order to sugget correct setup, one need to understand the goal.

What kind of simulation are you interested in running?

Is sweeping V_UGS part of your DC sweep plan?
