I have no experience with Spice and what I know comes from the help
file and the previous posts. I guess we all have to start somewhere.

What I wanted to do was call up a model from a sidac library
downloaded from Intusoft. With no better ideas on how to go about
this I used the DIAC symbol from the LT library, renamed it and saved
it to the symbol folder. I dropped it on my schematic and opened up
the Component Attribute Editor. In the value field I typed K1100E70
(K1100E70 is the model in the library). On the schematic I dropped a
Spice directive .inc demsidac.lib. When I run the circuit I get an
error message `Multiple instances of "any". So is there `any' hope
for me?

Hello Bunny,
I downloaded this library directly from Teccor.

http://www.teccor.com/asp/sitemap.asp?group=downloads

Click on "SIDAC" and download the library. It contains the library
file "SIDAC:LIB" where you will find amomg others the "K1100E70".
Please use this original library. Either you rename it to then to
DEMSIDAC.LIB or you have to change the name in your ".include"
statement to ".include SIDAC.LIB" .

it to the symbol folder. I dropped it on my schematic and opened up
the Component Attribute Editor.

It's ok, but you could also move your cursor over the text DIAC and
right-click your mouse. Replace the word DIAC with K1100E70.

(K1100E70 is the model in the library). On the schematic I dropped
a Spice directive .inc demsidac.lib.

Still all perfect. But it was not done in your attached file. It
still has the value "DIAC" there.

When I run the circuit I get an
error message `Multiple instances of "any". So is there `any' hope
for me?

No, the circuit is ok and will run perfectly after I really
changed "DIAC" to "K1100E70".

I have attached the corrected file and again, please download the
SIDAC library from the above mentioned original source.

Best Regards,
Helmut

Hello Bunny,
my last sentence could be misleading . "No" refers to "Is the circuit
ok ...". There is always hope!

Helmut, why are you so smart? Worked great thanks.
