IR Model and XSpice

Hello,

I'm trying to use a PSpice model from International Rectifier on Protel 99
se. Protel use XSpice to simulate circuits.

The model can be found here :
http://www.irf.com/product-info/models/sim/ir2181.zip

I tried to convert the model with ps2sp.pl but the script never convert the
model.

If I use this model in the simulator I have the following error: (I removed
some):

Setup Error: No parameter data specified for V in: E_MD1_TRIG1_ABM18
MD1_TRIG1_7 COM VALUE { V(VCC) * 0.0+15V+V(COM) }

Setup Error: No parameter data specified for V in: E_MD4_UVBS_ABM19
MD4_UVBS_6 COM VALUE { V(VS)+8.2 }
Setup Error: No parameter data specified for VS in: E_MD4_UVBS_ABM19
MD4_UVBS_6 COM VALUE { V(VS)+8.2 }

I tried to modified the file but It's look like XSpice don't understand V(X)
function.Does XSpice understand VALUE token ?

Do you have an idea to solve the issues ? How to convert the file to use
with Protel 99SE ?

Thanks for your help

Several possible issues...

Shouldn't { V(VCC) * 0.0+15V+V(COM) }

be { V(VCC) * (0.0+15V+V(COM)) }

Missing parentheses?

PSpice needs "Value =", note the "=" sign.

Does XSpice use PSpice-style behavioral expressions, or Berkeley "B"
functions?

"V(X)" => "X" is always a NODE.

"E" behavioral sources can have expressions.

Does XSpice delimit expressions with {...} or HSpice-style '...' ?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Yes it's weird, because otherwise the result it's always 15. I'll ask to IR
if the model is correct.

I tried with the equal sign but it change nothing

"V(X)" => "X" is always a NODE.

"E" behavioral sources can have expressions.
