This will reset all your user preferences to the defaults. You can attempt to force Multisim to create new User Configuration files. This KB will explain how to solve the user configuration file case first, followed by the registry key problem. It should get you started on the nuts and bolts.īTW, when I first started using spice (mid 90s) this is all realistically anyone got when buying software - the ability to "code" the nodes with text and usually a large file of compoent definitions.SolutionThere can be multiple reasons to get this error message in Multisim, however the two main reasons are either you have a corrupted User Configuration file, or you have a corrupted Jet Engine registry key in the Windows Registry. Here is where I got the example from and it looks nice and easy for a learning tutorial. However, it probably won't back-engineer some kind of schematic for your convenience. Like I said in my comment, any circuit/schematic front-end still converts the circuit you draw to a file like this meaning, you can export the ascii/text file and more than likely, import it into another spice software package. Note the node numbers on the schematic and note that all 5 components in the circuit have a line with node connections.

Is 3 2 DC 2.0mA note the node placementsĪs can be seen, Vs is described on the 1st main line as connected between node 1 and node 2, having a DC value and that value is 20V. Here's an example: -Īnd is described by the following text: - Example_1 EXMPL01.CIR Spice originally started with ascii type files (or text type files) describing connections between components - these are still the bottom line file used by all spice simulators I believe.
