PIC18F6680 PIC18F6585 simulation error

Post by mcz »

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to test the CAN bus capabilities of these two PIC devices of Proteus Demo, but I cannot even start the simulation. Following error comes up:

Compiling source files...
Build completed OK.
Compiling netlist...
Linking netlist...
Partition analysis...

Simulating partition 1
PROSPICE Release 6.9 SP4 (C) Labcenter Electronics 1993-2006.
SPICE Kernel Version 3f5. (C) Berkeley University ERL.

Reading netlist...
ERROR: [U1] PIC18.DLL failed to create MIXED model for primitive type 'PIC18F6680'.
Reading SPICE models...
Building circuit...

[ here comes a lot of warnings about grounding]

Instantiating SPICE models...
Real Time Simulation failed to start
Totaliters=0, Totalsteps=0, Goodsteps=0, Badsteps=0


Simulation FAILED due to fatal simulator errors.

Anyone has any idea?

Thanks

I don't believe that there are any VSM simulation models for those PIC processors. There is a list of the modelled PIC18 processors on the Labcenter homepage.

Many of the models present in the libraries are for physical design purposes only.
