SPICE (TINA-TI) Simulation, 4049 circuit

[Vallhagen]

Hi folks. I just posted a similar thread at DIYstompboxes. I try here too:)

I am fairly new at circuit simulation... and i tend to do all things simultanously... last week i bought a drill for my first home-etched circuit boards as well as finnishing some huge project, and now i am in the middle of simulation...

I have tried out (or given a look at) LTspice (i dont like it), Pspice, 5spice (which i like, but the free version is verrrrry limited) and TINA-TI. I think i have decided to go on with TINA-TI, which seems to be fairly user-friendly and "unlimited"(?)... (even though, when i browse around DIY-forums, LTspice seems to be the most common platform for simulation?)

Anyway; I want to simulate circuits around the cd4049ube chip (as used in red llama and others...). Does anyone of you have a clue how to get this circuit/model up and running in TINA-TI? Anyone has a model? On the TINA-TI download page it sais that "any spice model is fine for TINA-TI", which i read as i should be able to use a model from LT- or Pspice as well.

And - this makes me confused (almost annoyed...) in the "Component help" for TINA-TI, the 4049 circuit is listed. But i cant find how to load it... Maybe this is one limitation for the "free version", that i cant load some circuits that are coverred in the help.

Anyone?

And: Would it be a good idea to have a "Simulation" sub-forum on this forum, Madbean? Just a thought:)

Hi again. I solved it and can go on:)... If anyone is interested, i hope its ok to link to my thread on DIYstompboxes:

...where the solution is written down.

Cheers

Info is always good dude.

I use LT Spice personally; its really cool/fun to simulate OD circuits etc. and look at frequency responses etc.

I need them too! but the discussion on diystomp does not exist anymore. can someone help?
many thanks
