ERC: Failed to read simulation model from fields KiCad V7.0.2

[sarfat96]

What happen to V7.0.2 ERC?

There is no error in V7.0.1 if I test it using ERC

How this error comes? Is this a bug or as designed?

[fabio]

I have the same problem

[sarfat96]

Nothing error if I test it using V 7.0.1

Were you able to solve it? I have run into the same issue:

My kicad version:
Application: KiCad x86_64 on x86_64
Version: 7.0.2-6a45011f42~172~ubuntu22.04.1, release build

[Farhan_Khan]

Anyway, for the time being I simply clicked on “ignore all SPICE simulation related errors”

Yes, that’s simple solution.
But is the error set by default?
So we need to ignore it?

Yes; it’s a bug that will be fixed in 7.0.3 and you need to just ignore that error for now (or disable it in settings)

[Farhan_Khan]

Maybe? But just as in your case, I did not have this issue with the previous version. Maybe they changed something in the newer version.

[Farhan_Khan]

Ah, I see. Well, thanks for clarifying.

Here are the steps to disable simulation errors in KiCad 7.0.2

• Open your KiCad 7 project and select the “File” menu in the menu bar.
• Select “Schematic Setup” from the drop-down menu to open the schematic settings window.
• In the schematic settings window, select the “Electrical Rules” tab.
• In the “Violation Severity” section, look for the “SPICE model issue” entry and select “Ignore” from the drop-down menu next to it.
• Click “OK” to save the changes and close the schematic settings window.

Hi Mr. Jon Evans, when KiCad V7.0.3 will be released?
Thanks to KiCad developers

Hi @sarfat96

There will not be a 7.0.3. Please scroll to the bottom of this thread for an explanation.

I just got the same error:

I reverted to version 7.0.1 and I prefer to wait for the next updated version.

I have this same error running inside a Fedora rawhide official docker image (fedora:rawhide) (Inspect → Simulator → Simulation → Show SPICE Netlist). The error happens with Any BJT transistor, and the option to ignore SPICE errors is Already Marked.

This problem seems to be library parsing and problems with libraries paths

[Oskar_Nendes]

Anyways, it don’t make sense to disable SPICE simulation if what you want is exactly that: TO simulate. Please stop asking people to do this.
