Duplicate components that require annotation to simulate

Schematic Simulation (Ngspice)
1

Hi all,

I am trying to do a simulation using hierarchal sheets as subcircuits, and I keep getting the error that I have to annotate my schematic before I can simulate. I went through and all my components have unique names (none have a ‘?’), but I am using two sheets linked to the same schematic (i.e. two of the same subcircuit with different sheet names). Would using two copies of the same sheet throw this error? If not, does KiCAD have issues with labels not ending in numbers?

Thanks.

In case anyone comes here asking the same question. All components across all sheets in a schematic must have unique names to run with the simulator. The KiCAD annotation tool can rename components in subsheets.
