OrCAD Version History

ISO Transient sources for automotive applications including ISO 7637-2 for electrical disturbances form conduction and coupling and ISO 16750-2 for environmental conditions and related testing.

Parallel simulation support for parametric sweep, temperature sweep, and Monte Carlo Analysis on desktop to improve performance.

Control noise contributors in noise analysis to produce an accurate simulation.

Use a .wav file as a simulation input or export a .wav file as an output to perform audio simulations.

Use and create PSpice simulation personas as a simplified way to globally apply simulator options.

Cadence Doc Assistant presents help content as individual easy-to-read topics and has improved the speed and relevance of search capabilities.

Wizard-based Modeling Application support for efficient creation of digital models including gates, digital pulse, digital stimulus, flip-flops, and latches.

Include temperature coefficients in model definitions, express temperature as a function of time, and perform a single simulation to understand the effect of temperature variation.

Model and simulate repeated exponential electrical fast transients (EFTs), commonly required in stress testing of AC power mains, automotive DC electrical systems, ethernet and data lines.

Enhanced error and warning messages for expressions leading to high or abnormal values helps users pinpoint issues and ensure convergence.

Input data points from the measured inductor response in the laboratory or extracted datasheet information to quickly and easily model non-linear and frequency dependent impedances.
