Introduction
I wanted to mess with Vacuum Tubes and learn from old electronics to show my granpa how they worked, specially radio (AM and FM). I downloaded a library of vacuum tubes but could not install it properly or i am missing something.
I am using OrCAD Capture 16.6-2015 Lite
How did i get to the problem?
I downloaded the RAR file containing a .lib and .OLB which i copy pasted into the next directories.
.lib at C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.6_Lite\tools\pspice\library
and
.OLB at C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.6_Lite\tools\capture\library
Where is the problem?
When i run the simulation it jumps into this error:
ERROR(ORPSIM-15108): Subcircuit 12AT7 used by X_VL1 is undefined
That means it can not reach the library or some other file? I have read another question about the same problem but still could not solve the thing.
Extra
Here is a pic of the schematic if someone is interested of the FM radio with vacuum tubes.
PD: I know the values are not correct or adequate, it was a test to see if it could simulate and i am open to improvements if it a simple change i can understand.

Instead download a free version of circuitmaker 2000 here: http://getintopc.com/softwares/simulators/circuit-maker-2000-free-download/
Then get these tube spice models that have been written for audio enthusiasts here and install them into the program which is quite easy.
