Hi I am new to Electric and trying to setup with LTspice

[nbrian86]

Hi there.
I am trying to setup electric with LTspice but I am having some
problem.
I followed all the instruction from cmosedu.com so I hope the replies
don't suggest me to simply go and read more manuals.

So I have loaded one of the example libraries and used the spice code
as it was came with the library.

Vgnd gnd 0 DC 0
.options post
.include C5_models.txt
.ic V(vout)=5
.tran .01n 2n

But as it is transfered to LTspice, a error pops up and say ".options
syntax error: You can't set a value to parameter "post"". I have tried
to used other parameters according to the manual of LTspice but
nothing seems to work and this error keep comes up.

Can someone please help me with this issue? How do people usually
use .option command?

thank you

Brian

Hi Brian,

Yes, in the latest version of LTspice they stopped ignoring gratuitous
".options" statements. This halts LTspice.

Electric generates the following

.OPTIONS NOMOD NOPAGE

which is from old SPICE syntax (related to printing outputs in a text file)
not used in newer SPICE simulators. The next version of Electric, hopefully
due out soon, should remove this statement. This is one problem.

The .options post (is the other problem in the netlist) is used in HSPICE to
save simulation data. I commented out all of the .options post statements in
the Electric examples at CMOSedu.com so please download the Electric
examples again.

Soooo, to simulate using LTspice just manually delete the .options
statements (both of them) and run the simulation.

I went back to an older version of LTspice to avoid these issues until
Electric is updated (I attached scad.exe in a rar file to this email).

Good luck, Jake.
