LMV358 simulation - strange behavior

Hello Ste,
thank you for encouraging me to update the ngspice DLL

On the ngspice repository I found the newest ngspice engine, version 32. I extracted the DLL as per the instructions in the tutorial file mentioned earlier and replaced the older one in the KiCad\bin folder.
And bingooo :boom: it solved my problem!

The LMV358 Sallen-Key low pass filter now looks correct:


And I can confirm that the Alternate node sequence defined in the opamp’s Spice Model Properties is taken into consideration correctly (I used commas as separators).

Thank you guys for your help. I would have been lost without you!
Considering that your help is completely voluntary, as is the software, I understand that such support cannot be taken for granted.
This is where I tend to agree with @BlackCoffee: I generally like to pay a (reasonable) fee for any good software, because I know that development and support cost a lot of time and someone has to pay for it. Hardware people (like me) get paid for their job, so why should software developers work for free? I mean, everybody needs some cash for his/her living.
But probably this is a rather philosophical and out-of-topic discussion.
Thank you anyway!
