Error in AD8512 model

Question

Multisim 11.0.2 Full edition.
I was in the process of entering a moderately complex circuit for analysis.  The first part of the circuit involved 2 AD8512 dual opamps.  My analysis was such that I could enter part of the circuit, simulate, then proceed onto the next part.  The first part was a single opamp and the other was unconnected.  Simulation was fine.  The next step was to add a log amp comprising two opamps.  During this time I was relabeling the RefDes on all the parts to match the schematic.  When I relabeled the Opamps, for some reason both devices would not change refdes.  So I changed them all.  When I tried to simulate, I got the error:  Invalid subckt definition name 'ad8512_opamp_1.  Due to errors, those devices were eliminated from the simulation.  I figured it was my fault for changing the refdes, so I deleted the opamps and reinserted.  Same problem.  I also tried reloading the file and then, restarting Multisim.  Same problem, same error each time.
Any clues to what the problem is? 
Thanks...Steve

Answer 1

Steve,
The .ends statement needs to have the "s" at the end as it implies the end of a subckt. 
the proper format for your sub circuit would be
.subckt DMMT3904T2__DUAL_TRANSISTORS__1 1 2 3 4 5 6
* existing model data goes here
.ends
If you would like more information on this, search within the Multisim help for the spice reference, it explains the basics of spice programming for Multisim.
As for the reason only the AD8512 is affected if you view the netlist in Multisim (view -> spice netlist viewer) you will notice that the order at which the components are placed into the netlist leaves the DMMT3904T2 as the second last and AD8512 as the last model in the netlist. Because the DMMT3904T2 has no .ends statement, anything up until the .ends of the AD8512 is considered part of the DMMT3904T2's sub circuit which is why you are getting the netlist error.
