Hi,

Thanks for your time. I understand from your email that thers is no way that 
the 2 SPICE files generate the same simulation results.

I am attaching the HSPICE file which has 3 w elements, but I have the proble 
to specify the origin (X is the spacing between conductors direction, Y is 
the height direction). The length is in the Z direction.
How can I put the second and third W elements along the first W element.

I mean what should be their origins.
Thanks
