Spice Netlist

Spice Netlist lets you create a spice netlist of all spice components of the current model.

On the ribbon, select Tools > Spice Netlist.
The Spice netlist is shown in a text editor with spice syntax highlighted.
Click the Save or Save As button to save the list as a file.
The Spice netlist can be used in the SpiceCustomBlock or in other tools supporting Spice. Even if the netlist is changed, the model remains unchanged.
