3.5a AC/DC SPICE Netlist Import Error

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am currently attempting to import some SPICE Netlist code into COMSOL 3.5a. I am working on 3.5.0.603 if that helps. I am running into the error "Error: 5064 Invalid identifier for device 'EAM'" due to the code:

EAM 5 0 value={-0.1*(v(26)*1E3+35)/(exp(-0.1*(v(26)*1E3+35))-1)}.

This netlist code describes a voltage controlled voltage source but is not in the characteristic form for E statements in netlist code and instead uses the analog behavioral modeling of a value statement and a described expression including dependant voltage upon node 26.

Both PSPICE and LTSPICE fully run and support the netlist as is but COMSOL doesn't seem to accept the different statement form for a voltage controlled voltage source. Is there a way around this error or is there information that I am missing or do not fully understand?

Thank You,
Frank Sugden
