I'm simulating a 3rd-party Spice model of a transistor using OrCAD PSpice. After I hit run, it starts to generate a .cir file which is when the following error shows up:
Line too long. Limit is 132 characters.
By replacing the transistor model with a simpler one, the simulation goes well, so the error is somehow related to the transistor model.
What I don't understand is that the .cir file is generated by the software. Why the software generates some code which doesn't follow its own rule? I mean, it could split a long expression into several lines to avoid the error. Indeed, what I care about is how to solve the problem. The complete output file of the simulation is in the following. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
