Command 'run' failed following Internal Device Parameters documentation

Environment (OS, Python version, PySpice version, simulator)

Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, Python 3.10, PySpice 1.5

Actual Behaviour

The last commented line from https://pyspice.fabrice-salvaire.fr/releases/v1.5/examples/advanced-usages/internal-device-parameters.html (compute the DC transfer function) failed

NgSpiceCommandError: Command 'run' failed

Why the last stable version doesn't work? It seems the circuit is not parsed, how do I parse it? It also happens with PySpice 1.4, although the same line is uncommented.

Same problem here after two years, i don't know if you got you answer or not ?

[Kreijstal]

pyspice doesnt parse the circuit, ngspice does

[khodjawalid]

Thanks for your answer but what is the solution to simulate the circuit?

try the code first in ngspice, no?

I work on pyspice using python for my application
