Too few parameters for subcircuit type "lm358/ns" error

[gpark]

Hello. I’m newbie to Kicad. I hope somebody may help me…
I have an error simulating a simple circuit with lm358 op-amp.

When I use Eeschema → Spice Simulator → Run/Stop Simulation error message says

Too few parameters for subcircuit type “lm358/ns”

If you know how to solve this, please, let me know. Any clues appreciated.

1. My circuit diagram is here

Did you set the alternate node sequence (matching the symbol node numbers with the node sequence of the .SUBCKT LM358/NS 1 2 99 50 28 call) in the Spice Model Editor?

KiCad Eeschema as GUI for ngspice, tutorial for setting up the simulation tells you how to do this.

There are also some strange artefacts in your circuit:

You have a resistor R1, and you short-circuit it.

You have an Opamp named U2A and deliver its power via U3C. Numbers 2 and 3 mean two different devices, U3 gets power, U2 gets in/out ?
When placing the LM358 symbol onto the canvas, place all three elements of the symbol, before starting wiring.

Thank you for your help. But the problem is still unfixed.
As you said R1 is short-circuited, it was my mistake.

Thanks to your link, I did alternate node sequence to both U1A and U2C as LM358 datasheet says.

I made much more simple sicruit - inverting operation amplifier but error still exists.

Same error:
Too few parameters for subcircuit type “lm358/ns” (instance: xxu1)
Too few parameters for subcircuit type “lm358/ns” (instance: xxu2)

To state it more clearly:

You have to have:
U1A U1B U1C
Watch the numbers!

[gpark]

Ah! Now I understand! Haha. What a newbie am I.
Thank you holger!

Several issues:
You have no power. I suggest two simulation dc sources connected to pin 8, pin 4 and GND.
Simulation sources need annotation (eg, V1). V? is not allowed.
