MY SIMBL FLOAT UPDATE
This appication uses the older version of SIMBL.osax (0.9.9), since EasySIMBL.osax no longer works on OS X 10.9 or later, and the original developer does not seem likely to update his application or script. It is designed to make managing SIMBL plugins easy.

Standard sources used for PSpice simulations can be placed on the schematic in the 'Place > Part' menu from the \Capture\Library\PSpice\Source.olb' library or Sourcstm.olb stimulus library.MySIMBL is a successor to the application EasySIMBL. These symbols only provide connectivity between an actual source and a wire or device pin. When placing a power symbol from the 'Place > Power', aside from the $D_HI, $D_LO, and 0 symbols which represent 5v, 0v, and 0v respectively, the other available symbols are just ports and do not supply any voltage. Otherwise, with an incorrect ground, the Opamp will became self powering and incorrect simulation results may result.Īnother common problem is the incorrect usage of Power symbols in a schematic. If an incorrect rail voltage is applied because a non-zero ground was used, the internal behavioral blocks may create voltage spikes of several thousand volts. For example, Opamps, which use a subcircuit model, are typically configured using internal behavioral blocks. Some devices that use subcircuit models may have an internal ground 0 reference. A large resistor may be place in parallel with the capacitor to help resolve the initial DC bias calculation. Isolation caps may product a floating node error, as the capacitor is considered open when calculating the initial DC bias point calculation. If any node in the schematic does not have a DC ground 0 reference, a floating node or less than two connections error will result. PSpice simulations must have a 0 ground reference in order to resolve initial DC bias calculations. If ground 0 is not used, the ground port only names the net with the symbol's name and does not represent a zero reference.

Either edit the ground symbol and change the names from GND to 0, or select 'Place > Ground', ensure that the source.olb library is configured from the \Capture\Library\PSpice\Source.olb', which contains the 0 source. The only valid ground in a PSpice simulation is ground '0'. My circuit does not appear to have any open connections but is resulting in floating node errors. Incorrect Ground Symbol may Result in Floating Node or Convergence Problems? Error CodeĮRROR (ORPSIM-15141): Less than 2 connections at node
