Starting a simulation

window.  For instance,  you can have a waveform file 
(.DAT),  a circuit file (.CIR),  and a simulation output file 
(.OUT) open and displayed in different child windows 
within this one window.

The PSpice Simulation Window consists of three sections:  
the main window section where the open files are 
displayed,  the output window section where output 
information such as informational, warning, and error 
messages from the simulator are shown,  and the 
simulation status window section where detailed status 
information about the simulation are shown.  These three 
sections are shown in Figure 56.

The windows in these sections may be resized, moved, 
and reordered as needed.

The simulation window also includes a menu bar and 
toolbars for controlling the simulation and the waveform 
display.

The title bar of the simulation window (the 

area at the top of the window) identifies the name of the 
currently open simulation (either simulation profile or 
circuit file) and the name of the currently active document 
displayed in the main window area.  For example,  the 
simulation window shown in Figure 56 indicates that 
simulation profile Example-TRAN is currently open and 
the active document displayed is 
Example-Example-TRAN.DAT. 

The menus accessed from the 

menu bar include commands to set up and control the 
simulator,  customize the window display characteristics, 
and configure the way the waveforms are displayed.  The 
toolbar buttons duplicate many of the more frequently 
used commands.
