Set ngspice Model Type

Schematic Simulation (Ngspice)

In Simulator, ngspice returns …

List of plots available:
Current const Constant values (constants)
Note: Codel model file loading path is /home/…/Documents/Test/
Note: No compatibility mode selected!
Error: Not enough tokens in line 7
run
Please correct your input file
Error: ngspice.dll cannot recover and awaits to be reset or detached

The spice model is …

.title KiCad schematic
.save all
.probe alli
.probe p(V1)
.probe p(R2)
.probe p(R1)
.op
V1 A GND DC 15
R2 A B 2.5k
R1 B GND 2500
.end

I have another system that runs this model without any error.

How do I determine what ngspices settings are? The internal list of allowed commands seems to have been removed from F38 version of ngpsice to F40’s version.

Your thoughts would be helpful.

Your listing is not a spice model, but a ngspice netlist. And it is o.k.

The error message speaks about line 7, which is containing a single word ‘run’. So you (Eeschema) is sending not the netlist shown above to ngspice, but something different.

What is the ‘internal list of allowed commands’? Are you talking about chapter 13.5 of the ngspice manual?

I built a new model and was able to run it without error. It doesn’t contain the RUN command, so not sure why KiCAD is adding RUN to this model. =(.
