Hi, big brother, Although I'm not fan of simulators I know that they use models. PCAD uses variety of attributes and it's not that difficult to click on the symbol, right mouse click and go to Properties/Attributes. Now click ADD and under "Attrubute Category" you'll see "Simulation". This will open a large list of attributes and you can add custom names if you want. There is also a Simulation Source.lib library provided with PCAD.
Here is a crop from the Help topics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Configuring a schematic for simulation Before you can successfully simulate your circuit you need to ensure that your schematic documents contain all the necessary information. In general, the following rules must be adhered to before you will be able to run any of the available simulations: - All components and parts in the schematic must properly reference a simulation device model. - You must place and wire up suitable signal sources to provide drive to the circuit during simulations. - You must add meaningful net names to identify nodes in the circuit for which you wish to plot simulation data. - If necessary, you must set the initial simulation conditions of the circuit. See Also: Selecting simulation-ready schematic components Creating your own simulation-ready components Creating digital simulation components Adding simulation sources to a schematic Identifying simulation circuit nodes Setting initial conditions for simulation Simulating a schematic design ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I guess you know what to do after that.
