Problem creating PSpice Model Containing subckt (subcircuit) 

I'm using rev 15.7 

The question I have if I'm converting a text spice model that contains subckt correctly?  The circuit will not converge. One of my components that the circuit is built around spice model entered below contains subckt (subcircuits).  The process I went used to convert the spice model vendor text file was using the Model Editor which converted only the first subckt.  I then pasted in the rest of the missing bottom subckt while in the Model editor.  When I save it the editor breaks out the bottom subckts under the model list on the left.  I place the part and check its pspice model it only contains the first root subcircuit.  Yes, I did add the library file to the configuration.  The vendor app guy claim this model works for him and he sent me a netlist of his test circuit. I believe he is using a different spice tool.  I've tried rebuilding his netlist and get the same result.  His netlist shows this model with all the subckts.  So am I creating the spice model correctly or is it possibly my circuit is in error?

If the simulation starts the issue will, most likely, not be with the model or the way that you have configured the libraries, it may well be down to your application circuit or simulation parameters. See the section in the pspug.pdf, in the doc\pspug directory of the installation, Appendix B covers handling Convergence related issues when simulating.

The "Vendor App guy" may well have a different SPICE tool but the nuance of simulation settings are more likely to be what sets things apart.

OK, will review appendix B on convergence and my simulation.  But do you have any comments is the spice model with the subckt created correctly?  If I could find an example of this it would help in letting me know at least I did that correctly.  Only documenntation on implementing subcircuits I found in the pspice user guide was Hieracrchical Design and subcircuit with the X subcircuit general form. 

X name [node] subcircuit-name

In the vendor rep's netlist there were two line entries that I web searched and I believe has to do with the spice tool used.  Node 204 was the common ground.  Rgnd is referenced in the model.  Do I need something in my pspice circuit to tied to Vgnd and Rgnd?

Vgnd 204 0 dc 0V
Rgnd 204 0 100MEG

LIFE IS GOOD!  The convergent problem was corrected with the simulation configuration.  Enable GMIN and set it to 1E-9, changed the ITL 1, 2 & 4 to their max values 400, 100 and 500.  The simulation took a long time, reducing the simulation peroid would help.  What a way to learn this tool, not a fun process but worth the result (I think).
