As per screenshot - For the resistor - Go to Capture and open its properties (Select it > RMB > Edit Properties). Change the filter by dropdown to Capture PSpiceAA Then - find the parameter MAX_TEMP and change its value as required. Then on simulation and running SMOKE, its value should reflect in SMOKE panel. For more information, refer to the PSpiceAA User guide - Smoke - For power Users section to configure smoke parameters of various devices. https://support.cadence.com/apex/techpubDocViewerPage?xmlName=pspaugca.xml&title=PSpice%20Advanced%20Analysis%20User%20Guide%20--%20Contents&hash=&c_version=24.1&path=pspaugca/pspaugca24.1/pspaugcaTOC.html

Forum Post: RE: Need Help Exporting ODB++ from OrCAD 16.2 Layout – GW2ODB Executable or Alternatives?
Hi @andakConsultingLtd, Just a quick update — I’m trying to get in touch with some of the users who had replied to an old thread I started on EDAboard, to see if anyone might still have a copy of the gw2odb.exe executable. Hopefully, someone kept it and can share it. If I manage to retrieve it, I’ll make sure to host it somewhere and make it available for future generations of PCB designers who might face the same issue. I’ll keep you posted.

Yes, Tecplot can function properly, but it depends on the amount of RAM you have available.

Forum Post: RE: Linking .net file to device part shape
A .olb is a symbol file used to place the part in the schematic. I believe the .net file you have has the model definition (.model or .subckt). If so, it is a PSpice model library file. You must modify the filename extension from .net to .lib and attach this to symbol.

Forum Post: Fine Marine: The machine's VDH is not found.
To use the Fine Marine solver, a separate license file, including the machine's VDH, is required. Errors may occur when checking the license, indicating an incorrect or missing machine VDH. Resolving this issue is necessary to ensure the Fine Marine solver functions correctly. https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1OPP000001718T2AQ&pageName=ArticleContent

Hi! I apologize for the late response Examples using a report from Allegro to export DRC to a file (.csv). Don't launcher Allegro. 100% python script. code Python import subprocess input_data = "/path/to/your/file.brd" output_csv = "/temp/folder/report_drc.csv" // create before run cmd = ["report", "-v", "drc", input_data, output_csv] subprocess.run(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) Regards, HoangKhoi

Hello, you can refer to this code. very fast and smooth string input_data = "/path/to/your/file.brd"; string file_csv = "/report_waive.csv"; string cmd = "report -v waived_drc " + input_data + " " + file_csv; wxDisableAsserts(); wxExecute(cmd.c_str(), wxEXEC_SYNC | wxEXEC_HIDE_CONSOLE | wxEXEC_NODISABLE); wxWidgets in c++ HoangKhoi.

Forum Post: how to copy a part of design
Hello, I’ve designed a PCB prototype, but the final version will have a different board size. I've already completed the routing for key components like the CPU and RAM. Is it possible to copy those sections into the new PCB layout to avoid redoing the routing? Regards,

Forum Post: Test Your Know How: PCB Separation
Organize these three separation technologies into order: 1. SPEED 2. COST 3. STRESS A = Scoring, B = Tab Routing/Milling, C = Lazer Cutting Which is the fastest speed, the highest cost, and the highest stress on the PCB and surrounding components? If you are concerned about product lifespan in your designs, do you consider these factors? Simply answer A Nx, B Ny, C Nz in the comments below. Any further input or questions from your experiences are also very welcome!

Forum Post: RE: how to copy a part of design
Yes, it is and you have 2 options: 1. Use Export->Clipboard feature 2. Use replicate modules available in Placement Mode

Forum Post: RE: how to copy a part of design
Thank you for your reply. Regarding the 1st option, there is no clipboard feature in export tab. How can I enable it? Regarding your 2nd option, Could you please clarify it? where can i find replicate modules?

Try Export->Sub-Drawing, looks like you have a different GUI (it happens due to Licensing and version)

Forum Post: RE: Alternate parts on BOMs
Solved! To add more information: I am using Capture CIS. I was able to add multiple distributors and equivalents. To make it work, I ended up working with Tech Support and found that we had a mismatch in the mapping. Now, when printing the BOM, the primary part is listed and then each following option is listed. When creating the CIS Bill of Materials, there are two boxes to check: List "Relational Data Fields" and "Relational Data Displayed". The "CIS Manufacturer ..." properties are added to the Output Format. Thank you! Best regards, Fred

I can't get this to work either however I think it might be regarded to the 'working dir' vs the 'temp dir' locations, I noticed the log file has the temp design name relative to the 'working dir', example below: BRD file: D:/SPB_Data/Intel/Keystone_Flat_QP/#Taaaaak15200.dra however my 'temp dir' ( which is "C:\Users\David1\AppData\Local\Temp" ) has the following file: 05/05/2025 01:27 PM 11,191 #Taaaabk15200.tmp I attempted to run 'dbdoctor' on that file with no success :(

Forum Post: RE: Alternate parts on BOMs
There's a RAK that explains it. Search for "How to include all fields with multiple entries defined in the Relational Database in Capture CIS BOM" But, "Relational Data Displayed" is greyed out in the BOM generation dialog. Yes, I use CIP to manage the CIS data.

Hi Cadence Forum, I am using virtuoso and familiar with the command Ctrl+Shift+Mouse Scroll Up/Down to change the wire width by increment. Is there a SKILL, Bindkey or GUI way so that the wire width will change based on a list of widths instead of an increment?

Forum Post: RE: Need Help Exporting ODB++ from OrCAD 16.2 Layout – GW2ODB Executable or Alternatives?
Hi David. If you have a third party gerber editor like cam350 or gerbtool you could load in your gerbers and then export them as a ODB file. This probably would not have all the data like the pick and place files but the bulk of your design would be there within the ODB file. Perhaps that might be an option for you. The max translator within Allegro does a good job of importing the older layout files. Since you have 16.2 layout that actually came with allegro. You could fire up allegro and try the allegro import max file translator on say one of the small layout demo files to get a feel for it. There is also some good help instructions on the translator tab if you click on the help button. The least path of resistance would be to keep your older designs in layout. On a new tool chain Orcad / Allegro is a pretty good option. The only other option I can think of is totally abandon ODB and just supply your board manufacturer with the gerbers, drill file etc so the boards can be made. Best Regards.
