6 Choose ELEMENTS>NEW/MACRO(S) FROM SML FILE in the Model Agent and open the .sml
file with the converted SPICE models.
7 Click to accept the suggested symbol.
Repeat step 6 and 7 if more than one macro model is contained in the SML description. The
model is completed and integrated in the selected library. It can be changed as long as it is
not encoded. See also “Creating Your Own Models (Components)” on page 489.
Available Components
The capability of the SPICE converter has been tested with models for diodes, MOSFETs, and
IGBTs from International Rectifier. The SPICE netlists are available at http://www.irf.com/
qlmodel.html. The models were completely translated and verified in SIMPLORER. The SIM-
PLORER IR libraries are available for download. See also “Converter List and Non-Supported
Components” in the Online Help.

Command Description
SML 1.5 ->SML 2.0 Converts a version 4.x SML description to 5.0/6.0.
SPICE -> SML 2.0 Converts SPICE netlists into SIMPLORER SML 2.0 descriptions.
The SML source code consists of comments, preprocessor directives, and sections. The sections
start with a keyword and contain text lines. The Text Editor is able to recognize and colorize
special SML keywords in the source code. The automatic text highlighting is active only
when you have saved the source code as an .sml file. You cannot change the colors in the Text
Editor.
Templates which already contain keywords and comments in which to enter the SML text can
be helpful in creating SML code. To automatically load a template in a new window when you
start the Text Editor, choose OPTIONS>PROGRAM DIRECTORIES in the SSC Commander and enter
path and name for the Editor’s template file.
Drag-and-Drop from the Model Agent
Another option for inserting SML source code quickly and accurately is to use components
from the model tree in the Model Agent and in the Schematic. If the model tree and the input
window of the Text Editor are arranged side-by-side on the screen, you can drag-and-drop
components of the model tree into the Text Editor window. The SML notation for the component
or the macro call are inserted at the position of the mouse pointer. If you have checked
the option «Add comment» in OPTIONS>OPTIONS>GENERAL OPTIONS, the respective comments
from the model are also inserted.
