model maker

[Triton1020]

I am trying to create a zener using Model Maker. When I get to the select Model Maker button in the Component Wizard, I get a meassage that says that there are No Model Makers found. I am running Multisim 12 Full version. Is there a file that I need to load to activate the Model Makers?

Hi Triton 1020,

In order to be able to used the model markers you need to have Multisim Power Pro Edition,  The model marker features are not available in the Full addition.

The Multisim database does include zener diodes I would suggest trying to find one with similar characteristics to the one you are trying to simulate.

Best regards

There should be an upgrade price available to migrate from Full to PowerPro.  Once you have the Multisim PowerPRO, there is a good tutorial on how to create a part using the Model Maker tool here:

It actually covers creating a Zener Diode.
