Getting SPICE netlist error in schematic...: Invalid subckt definition '21' and '33' on user added component

In some design work I was doing I needed to use a vacuum tube type that is not available in Multisim.
After some research on how to add a component I tracked down a spice model of this part and used the component wizard to add it.
After adding it and putting it in a circuit it will simulate fine for a few moments then errors will occur and it will not allow me to restart the simulation there after.
Here is the spice model I'm using, and I've attached a screen cap of the error messages. Any help fixing the errors would be appreciated.

  • SPICE Netlist Error: Unable to parse parameter name

    The history so far (using MS11):
    I tried to make a new component, i.e. the CNY70.
    Therefore I needed the simulation model. So I designed a simple subckt that I tested, and ok, it works.
    Subckt schematic exported a netlist, lines added:   .SUBCKT <name> 1 2 3 4   and   .ENDS
    This .cir file used as Model for the new part I created.
    And then....used this new part in a testschematic.....and the simulation is aborted:::
    SPICE Netlist Error in schematic RefDes 'd1', element 'ud1': Unable to parse parameter name
    SPICE Netlist Error in schematic RefDes 'd1', element '<unknown>': Due to errors, the component 'ud1' has been omitted from the simulation.
    QUESTION: what did I do wrong / what am I missing in the Subckt file????
    I looked in some modelfiles of opto-manuf. like Avago, and they all make use of V-controlled-I sources etcetera.

    Hello Capera,
    I understand that spending alot time and ending up with an error can be extremely frustrating.
    I did some further testing and it seems like I get the same error even with an empty model.
    It seems to not be purely linked to this model.
    Which specific steps did you follow?

    Hi,
    In IPD135N031.cir file you attached, there is a line that starts with:
    X1  d1 g s Tj S4_30_h_var
    This line is a call command in spice, it's looking for another model called :s4_30_H_H_var.  You did not include the second model and that's why you got the error message.
    The attached file is the complete model.  I made one modification to the syntax that you should know about.  In the model, one of the expressions has a log function.  If left that way, Multisim will treat log()expression as ln(), otherwise you have to use log10.  I changed the expresssion to log10.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 fatal error XML parsing: Invalid document structure, line:1, File: C:\User\Tyler\App

    XML parsing fatal error: Invalid document structure, line: 1, file: C:\User\Tyler\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configureation\Workspace\Classic.xml
    I have gone through older disscussion forums and have followed the steps recommended by deleting the corrupted .xml file itself (in this case "Classic.xml") but imidiatly after when i try to open Dreamweaver again, i am prompted with the same fatal error message including the file that i have just deleted. Next i deleted the entire configure file and this did not help either.
    It is also odd that when i follow the path to find the corrupted .xml file from the prompt, the path is different in that i do not find the "Classic.xml" file through th "en_US\Configuration\Weorkspace" navigation, however i do find the corrupt "Classic.xml" file in the "configure" folder of the "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5" file.
    Im not sure what to do now and i would really like Dreamweaver back up and running so please help if you can!!!
    Thanks
    -Tyler

    Step 1: Close DW, Navigate to C:\User\Tyler\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configureation\Workspace\ and delete that Classic.xml file
    Re-open DW. DW should auto-create your Workspace layout XML file again. See if it works fine.
    PROCEED TO STEP 2 ONLY IF STEP 1 DOESN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE
    Step 2: Navigate to C:\Users\Tyler\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en-US\Configuration and delete the entire 'CONFIGURATION' folder. Re-open DW. DW should auto-create your configuration folder based on predefined layouts and config options. This will definitely fix your issue.
    Reason for this issue: This issue would have been caused due to a malformed workspace layout configuration. That may happen due to customizations you may have done to the layout/ improper file permissions/ improper shutdown on Windows.
    See if these fixes resolve your issue and post your results here.

  • I get a network error that pops up that says model_ERROR_BIND and tells me to check the network settings. But all is working fine. Any ideas what to do to fix this error.

    I get a pop message that says there is a network error. The message is MODEL_ERROR_BIND. Please help. The network seems to be working fine.

    You have some other problem with your boot drive that has corrupted data backed up to the TimeMacine drive.
    My advice is to boot into each operating system and manually backup just your Users files each to separate regular external drives (no Timemachine or backup software) and disconnect.
    Make a note of any serial numbers, emails, address book contacts, export bookmarks etc. that isn't typically in your users folders data.
    You might be able to Winclone 3 the Windows as a whole thing as it's appearing not to have issues but it's your MacintoshHD partition that is so that will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If your OS X parititon doesn't boot, you can use this to recover files.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Without any further detail about your machine I can't advise specifically what to do, but it involves using Disk Utility to Zero Erase (move slider one spot to the right or in 10.6 using Security Option) the ENTIRE boot drive and reformatting, then installing OSX fresh and then setting up BootCamp again.
    If you wish to switch your boot drive for something better, this is a good time to do this.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    If your machine is capable of Internet Recovery, then use that, then upgrade.
    If your machine came with 10.6 or earlier, then use the 10.6 install disks and work up from there.
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's

    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • Netlist error for tc4420

    I don't know what to say.
    I was expecting that multisim is some kind of standard for simulation purposes but now im stuck in one basic problem and i can't continue with my project. If the netlist for TC4420 ( or some other part ) is provided from the manufacturer, then this should be tested by the manufacturer. Would you agree ?
    If the netlist is tested then the errors that im getting in multisim are caused by multisim alone.
    If this is true, how to debug that netlist, or does someone knows how can i check this error messages ?
