Is there a Diac model in Orcad 9,2 like resistors,capasitors and so on. If not could you please give me a model for a Diac with netlist code?

Best regards!
 

Search the web. I found this one:

Code: 
.subckt diac 1 2 
*Based on BR100 measured data
*Convergence problems often occur with this model
*If you have a better model please tell me
Vdummy 1 5 dc 0
Ediac 5 2 TABLE {I(Vdummy)} = 
+ (-10.06m,-20.46) (-9m,-20.5)    (-7.02m,-20.72) (-5.98m,-20.89) 
+ (-5.05m, -21.11) (-3.26m,-21.91) (-2.15m,-22.96) (-1.6m,-23.99) 
+ (-7.2n,   -32.5) (-4.0n, -32) (-3.2n,-31) (-2.9n,-30) (-2.5n,-28.03)

.ends diac

Dr Keith, I'm new to Orcad. So, could you please tell me what component can be used to implement this code and used as a Diac for simulation purposes? I think EVALUE block cant be used for this task right? I have seen some blocks in Multisim package, that can be work as a desired model component when it is loaded with relevant Netlist command log . Is there a method also in Orcad like in Multisim?
 

Sorry, I don't use Orcad for simulation. The model is a subcircuit so you need to make a 2 port subcircuit - there may be standard ones in the Orcad Pspice library - I am not sure.

Section 4 of this document might be helpful: https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~jan/spice/PSpicePrimer.pdf

Keith.
