Questions relating to designing PCBs
By MCPorche

I downloaded a project file that someone created with MultiSim 10.0. The circuit includes an LM317 Adjustable Voltage Regulator.

This component is not included with the library that comes with MultiSim 13.0. I tried to copy the Spice model data, and create a new component. However, it doesn't work as it should. I made a circuit out of the one from the project I downloaded, and with the resistors I used, I get 3.317V. When I replace it with the component I created, I end up with 11.996V.

Is there some way to take a component from a circuit, and save it into your database? Or could someone maybe point me in a direction to troubleshoot why the component I created didn't work?

Thanks.
