Port pSPICE model into Multisim

I'm new to multisim.

 

Can someone provide some basic steps for how to take a pSPICE model (like the one listed at the bottom) and port it into a component in Multisim?

 

Are there are any general things to be careful with when taking a pSPICE model and using it in Multisim? I would greatly appreciate the tips.

 

 

Thanks.

Multisim has the ability to simulate a wide range of SPICE-based models.  Over the past few releases, great efforts have been focused on assuring compatibility of the parser with simulator-specific parameters so that your circuits can be seamlessly ported over to Multisim.

 

To simulate this particular model in Multisim, you will need to create a custom component in Multisim.  The following tutorial will guide you through the process: Creating a Custom Component in NI Multisim.

 

Alternatively, you can use the Arbitrary SPICE Block component to paste in your netlists for quick tests.

 

Let us know if you have any more questions along the way.
