David --
My final statement was that I just don't have time to play around with
this and that until I finally hit upon the correct steps for that
"aha!".
If you had taken as much time to peruse the docs at:
http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/SPICE/
as you have to write your e-mails, perhaps you'd be done by now!
Perhaps you should check out LTSpice, as somebody else already
suggested. LTSpice provides what you want: A prepackaged SPICE
simulation package with everything already built in. Get it here:
http://www.linear.com/company/software.jsp
I really need more clear cut instructions on how to build an
opamp circuit, with the associated pins.
1. Please find the SPICE-opamp symbol attached below. The symbol
below has the correct pinseq attributes for simulating most all opamp
models, including the one I attach below.
2. Save it into your project directory.
3. Make sure your gafrc file has this line in it:
(component-library ".")
This step will make gschem able to find the symbol using the parts
browser (as long as you are running it in your project directory).
4. Within gschem, place the opamp symbol on your schematic.
5. Double click on the symbol to get to the attribute editor.
6. Change the refdes to U1
7. Enter a new attribute "file". Make its value the same as the
SPICE subckt you wish to simulate. I attach an OP07 .subckt below
which you can cut 'n paste into your project directory. Make the
"file" attribute point to this file.
8. In the subckt file, locate the name of the subckt. The subckt
name occurs after the .subckt declaration at the beginning of the
file. In the case of the OP07 below, the subckt name is OP07.
9. Still in the symbol's attribute editor, add a new attribute
"model-name". Make the model name the name you got from the file, in
this case "OP07".
10. Close the attribute editor.
11. Create the rest of your schematic.
12. Netlist using gnetlist -g spice-sdb
13. You are done.
