In the Model data area, paste the new model. Click Yes in the pop-up. Click Select in the Select a Model window. You will now see the new Model in the Model tab. You will be prompted about where you want to save the Component. You can now use the Component with the new SPICE Model. Using SPICE Models is the industry standard way to simulate circuit performance prior to the prototype stage as an additional step of testing to ensure that your circuit works properly before investing in prototype development.

The National Instruments SPICE Simulation Fundamentals series is your free resource on the internet for learning about circuit simulation. The series is a set of tutorials and information on SPICE simulation, OrCAD pSPICE compatibility, SPICE modeling, and other concepts in circuit simulation.

For more information, see the SPICE Simulation Fundamentals main page.

The series is divided among a number of in-depth detailed articles that will give you HOWTO information on the important concepts and details of SPICE simulation.

Circuit simulation is an important part of any design process. By simulating your circuits, you can detect errors early in the process, and avoid costly and time consuming prototype reworking. You can also easily swap components to evaluate designs with varying bills of materials (BOMs).

An important key to performing accurate and successful SPICE simulation is to use high quality SPICE models. While most circuit simulation packages such as Multisim come with thousands of components and SPICE simulation models, frequently designers need to use a part that does not exist in the available database. When these situations arise, the software tool will typically have a way of adding custom components and models to the database. Multisim for example has a detailed component creation wizard that will guide designers through the process of defining custom parts for simulation and PCB layout (See Creating Custom Components in Multisim).

To access the new components open NI Multisim, go to the Place menu and select Component. Choose the Search button and enter search criteria. For example, enter a manufacturer name or choose a product Group or Family to narrow the search to specific components. In Figure 1. The Group of Transistors and Family of IGBT are selected.
