ERROR(ORPSIM-16152): Invalid number .

i have been struggling with this error since i cannot run the simulation, any help would be appreciate it .

it a simple circuit with a 10 vdc and 2 resistors( 1 5 ohm and 1 ( 0-10 Rx) with a Dc sweep ( global  Rx , linear 0-10 )

OK, Rx is not a number and PSpice is expecting a numerical value greater than 0 for the value parameter. IF you want to use parameters, you will need to change the format so that the value of the parameter is used, rather than the name, PSpice does this with {Rx}.

The error message suggests that there might be an issue with the definition or value of a numerical parameter in your simulation. In your case, it seems to be related to the DC sweep on the resistor Rx.
