Instead of modeling a potentiometer directly you are better off using two resistors and adjusting their values, for most applications that's all a potentiometer is. The DMOD.mdl file is just a standard silicon diode model, for LEDs you would need the forward voltage to be higher so if you need the sim to reflect that acurately you are better off finding a SPICE model from a manufacturer.<BR /><BR />Try to use standard models whenever possible, if those aren't available then you'll need to get models from the manufacturer.<BR /><BR />Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.<BR /><BR />Best Regards, Wed, 08 Jul 2020 20:31:10 GMT jorge_garcia 2020-07-08T20:31:10Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/eagle-forum/mapping-models-for-simulation/m-p/9622334#M8307 <P>I'm trying to simulate a schematic in EAGLE. So i'm mapping the components, how do I know which models go to what device? I looked up online and an LED is modeled under DMOD.mdl. How am I to know if that is correct or that it goes to an LED? Additionally i'm looking to map a potentiometer but I have no idea what model to use to map this device. How would I figure this out?</P> Tue, 07 Jul 2020 15:54:49 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/eagle-forum/mapping-models-for-simulation/m-p/9622334#M8307 Anonymous 2020-07-07T15:54:49Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/eagle-forum/mapping-models-for-simulation/m-p/9625013#M8308 Hi @Anonymous,<BR /><BR />I hope you're doing well.
