Hello,
Thanks for your question. In order to create simulatable custom components in Multisim you need a SPICE model (Multisim can also understand PSpice Models). The file format for SPICE model can be different according to the manufacturer, for instance: *.cir, *.lib, *.llb. At the end of the day these files are text files that you can open with a text editor, therefore, you can simply copy and paste the model in Multisim.
Here are two good resources on component creation:
Creating a Custom Component in NI Multisim
When you reach the step where you need to enter the SPICE model, simply open the *.lib or *.olb file with a text editor, and copy and paste the model.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
What is a procedure if .lib file is encrypted??

Hi there,
Unfortunately if the file is encrypted you will not be able to use it in Multisim. Contact the company that provided the model to see if they have an open version of the model.
Best,

I have .lib file of pspice model. I could see that the pspice simulator version is 16.0 in the text editor mode. Can this file be used to model multisim component in multisim 2013 version??
