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.
