Unable read analysis file please help

Succesfully converted KiCad to Ngspice, Trying out a transient analysis for the frequency multiplier using LM565 and MM74C90.
these are the warnings from the electrical rules check.

If you are creating a new subcircuit, you need to rename the model designator as X. Then you can add a subcircuit library file for the device. Similarly, for Diode it is D, Transistor it is Q and so on, please refer to 'Spoken Tutorial' on how to add a subcircuit in eSim and refer to Ngspice manual regarding the model designator.

I haven't used subcircuit builder I download the model for LM565 and MM74C90. After successful conversion from KiCad to Ngspice I was getting error of unable to read analysis file on simulation

All KiCad components are not spice compatible. To make it spice compatible you need to change the designator and check whether the component pins are the same as the pins mentioned in the spice lib file.

Example. I have to create a AND gate. For that, I will take a AND gate that is already present in the KiCad library. Next, i need to check whether the pin number mentioned in the library is the same as that of the component symbol. Next change the designator as X(because it is a subcircuit) then using the upload option I will upload the subcircuit or I can directly add in the cir.out file.

You need to refer to 'Spoken Tutorials'. There are two ways defined to add subcircuit in eSim.

ok so I have to use subcircuit builder what to do when you have to add a port for VCC and GND on an IC in the subcircuit builder video it was for half adder I need to make one for LM565 and 7490

16-07-21, 3:11 p.m. aayushjamuar

Yes. If you already have a subcircuit library file, use the 'Upload option for the subcircuit' and load file. Also, you can add the subcircuit model in cir.out file.

Refer to Ngspice manual,page 53

Refer to the example "Analysis_of_Digital_IC" example from the example folder. There we have built an IC using scratch. View the subcircuit schematic(example:4023.pro)
