If you need to simulate more devices of the same kind in parallel, you can use the m (often called parallel multiplier) option which is available for all instances except transmission lines and sources (both independent and controlled).
The parallel multiplier is implemented by multiplying by the value of m the element's matrix stamp, thus it cannot be used to accurately simulate larger devices in integrated circuits.
The netlist below show how to correctly use the parallel multiplier:
Multiple devices d1 2 0 mydiode m=10 d01 1 0 mydiode d02 1 0 mydiode d03 1 0 mydiode d04 1 0 mydiode d05 1 0 mydiode d06 1 0 mydiode d07 1 0 mydiode d08 1 0 mydiode d09 1 0 mydiode d10 1 0 mydiode ...
The d1
instance connected between nodes 2 and 0 is equivalent
to the parallel d01-d10
connected between 1 and 0.
