Many components are easier to create and not all steps outlined are required under most circumstances. You will create a part with two schematic symbols, two models, but only one footprint. In the interest of completeness, you will learn how to create an advanced component with two sections. The tutorial steps you through the process of creating a simulation and PCB layout compatible component in Multisim. Mapping the symbol pins to the model pins.
Components details include symbol and optionally pin, model, and footprint information. The Component Wizard is the primary tool used to create custom components in Multisim, and it walks you through all of the steps required to create a new component.
You will create the component and then verify its operation. The purpose of this tutorial is to explain how you can create your own components for simulation and/or Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout from within Multisim. This tutorial is the first in a series of articles on component creation in NI Multisim and NI Ultiboard.
