The .mdl seems to be a very uncommon file. I haven't found one yet!
I would prefer to stay within fusion 360 100% but I have access to Eagle. There must be a way to import the spice files.
For instance Here:
www.monolithicpower.com/en/mp8009.html
or here:
www.littelfuse.com/products/tvs-diodes/surface-mount/smaj/smaj58a.aspx
It must exist through SamacSys. Is there a standard way to find the spice file, mdl text file, etc? Is it part of the library file in eagle? I am a beginner at both but there doesn't seem to be a text guide covering this anywhere for Fusion 360 PCB.
I saw this explanation:
Solution:To equip a PCB device with a simulation/spice model, follow these steps:
- Find and import from the internet a correct spice model that meets the requirements. THATS THE PROBLEM.
- Open it in the Windows notepad (or another text editor).
- Copy the code of the spice model.
- Go to the schematics with the simulated circuit in Fusion 360.
- Right-click on the symbol for the PCB device and select the "add Spice Model" option.
- Then click the Map button.
- If the section for the code is empty paste the new one, if not replace the incomplete/old code.
- Enter the model name.
- Click ok in both windows that will show.
- Click the Done button.
Is there a better way to do this pcb design? Is there a software that complies with Samacsys? Is there a way to get my spice model information?
