Incorrect voltages on simple simulation

Hi, I am attempting to simulate the below circuit but I'm getting some odd voltages.  There should -5v across the LM4040..  Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Many thanks.

Hi,
For a Transient analysis, only the initial transient bias values are shown.
Place a probe and also check the voltage graph in the output window

There is an issue with this diode model. If you make a symmetrical circuit with positive and negative rails, the "positive rail" circuit behaves as expected but the "negative rail" circuit does not. There is a post about this on the TI forum and it would seem that, according to the replies, the TINA model was changed at some point but, from these results, the PSpice model was not. You probably need to start a post on the TI forum to request that the PSpice version of the model be updated. The model is encrypted so there isn't any scope for user modification.

 you must be careful to supply the correct units contexto. Open each converter block and verify that the supplied units are right to begin examining the circuit.

incorrect voltages in a simulation can be caused by a variety of factors, such as incorrect 

backrooms game component values, incorrect wiring or connections, or simulation settings that are not appropriate for the circuit being simulated. Double-checking your circuit and ensuring that all component values are correct can often help resolve voltage discrepancies. Additionally, checking your simulation settings, such as the simulation time step and initial conditions, can also help identify and correct issues with the simulation.
