P4scad3.exe LTSpice error

Jun 29, 2006 3 Replies

I would like to run P4scad3.exe on a P4 (2001 vintage dell 8100) but get an "Unknown special function name: "yyyyyy" (these have accent). Any ideas on how to correct it?



Thanks in advance, Bill

Hello Bill,

Some internal and non documented devices in LTspice have been changed over the years. If you still want to run it, then you have to install an old version of swcadii.exe from the time of this special/eperimental release.

I recommend to forget this old version, because there are so many new features and improvements over the years, that it doesn't make sense to stick to this old versions. Also a lot of new LT-ICs have been added which require the new internal models.

Helmut,

Here's a good one for you...I am running sims with ltc1775 circuit and it takes a lot of time so, I went by the IT guy and asked if there were any new fast computers around that I could try just to see how much improvement there might be. Turns out there were 4 new PCs available for upgrading older PCs like my 2001 vintage PC.

Use LTSpice and get a free upgrade of your PC!!!!

All seriousness aside...what about a updated versi> schrieb im Newsbeitrag

Hello Bill,

There is a database about simulation speed for many types of CPUs in the LTspice group (section Database). If you you tell me what CPU you have, I(or you) can estimate how fast it may be with the latest CPUs.

Database

You could send an email to the address given in the Help->About of the LTspice program and ask for new P$-compilaton. It's simply to much work to do that more often.

Best regards, Helmut
