Hi All,
   Sorry about the wrong character coding makes confued.
   Below is my  original email of my question.
   I changed the setting "Maximum step size" in OrCAD to small step, and
got a better result. Now the result from OrCAD is about 2.7E-6 PERCENT,
which is 1/10 of OUTPUT from TINA. I'm newbee to these two simulation
tools, and trying to use them right. Thanks for all your help.

    A simple CLC circuit has been simulated with TINA and OrCAD. Hope to
get the THD simulaiton result from these two pspice based tools. Base
frequence is set to 1kHz, and Number of harmonics is 20. Both tools have
the same settings. The TINA shows the THD is about 2.27E-005% , but the
result from OrCAD is about 1.02E00 PERCENT. There is a huge gap between
these two results. Which one is more credible?
    The circuit and the test result have been attached, please give your
comment kindly.

    Best Regards.
