[SOLVED] Pspice error reporting during simulation

[msmol]

Hi, I created a tunnel diode as a hierarchical symbol to introduce it in a bigger circuit (bottom-up method).

When I run the DC Sweep simulation, this error appears:

"--------------- Simulation Circuit File: diodotunel prueba con subcrt ---------------
Simulation running...
No recognized product configuration selected.
* C:\Program Files\OrCAD_Demo\PSpice\diodotunel prueba con subcrt.sch
Reading and checking circuit
Missing parameter
Circuit has errors ... run aborted
See output file for details
Simulation aborted"

When I check the output file I see:

If anyone can help me, thanks.

A simple error, I think:

** Analysis setup **
.DC LIN     
------------$
ERROR -- Missing parameter

You just forgot to out-comment the ------------$ line.

Hi everyone, it sounds funny, but the problem was simply that I forgot to enter the parameters for the DC Sweep. Problem solved.
