Subject: ERROR -- Subcircuit -etc.- is undefined

Hello All.

Yet another one....

I am working with Capture 9.2 and PSpice.

The report from simulation shows IGBT's (as below) which are from Infineon
(Siemens). They have Spice models attached and are shown as such in
"Properties". However; when I try to edit the model, from within the
Shematic page, it searches for it but cannot found it.

How do I ensure that they are defined?

Here is the model text from Model Editor (which is Level I and looks pretty
complete - even defines .SUBCIRCUIT):-

The Library containing the SUBCKT definition must be *loaded*. I
don't recall how it's done with Capture... in Schematics it's trivial.

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

I understand that, normally, *nom.lib is loaded in the "Simulation Setting"
when the program OrCAD is first installed and remains there for all new
projects, etc. It should take care that all libraries are searched for
creating netlists and simulation etc..
I have tried adding the particular library (one of several INFINEON
libraries that I have added) but it doesn't change things.
This has happened to me several times before and the problem has been
cleared somehow but I cannot remember how.

Please, All, give further thought to this annoying and recurring problem.
Others have reported this also.

Many thanks for you try Jim.

Hello All.

I think I have it!
I had to load the SPECIFIC file in the Simulation Editor - *.nom.lib would
not cover otherwise.

if any further light could be she upon the added *.lib files that one can
download from the major companies and how best to configure them, I think
may of us would be most grateful. I know I would because this comes up so
frequently when I am trying to use the latest products form these companies.

Best to All, ROBIN.
