 Simulation support in KiCad 5 has been significantly reworked to make it a better simulation platform. One casualty of this is that the OldWays no longer work((At least not on my Debian sid system)). In particular, when KiCad generates ''*cir'' files, it no longer prepends ''-PSPICE''/''-GNUCAP'' nor appends ''+PSPICE''/''+GNUCAP'' text blocks found on your schematic to the file. But it does add a ''.title'' directive to the file that my simulator doesn't understand and chokes on. Simulation support in KiCad 5 has been significantly reworked to make it a better simulation platform.

-I have a lot of simulations I built under KiCad 4. So I hacked together a bash script that makes it relatively easy to convert KiCad 4 simulations to something that works in KiCad 5. I'm dumping the source code here for now but will probably be moving it to Git[lab|hub] soon.+I have a lot of simulations I built under KiCad 4 that I still want to use. So I hacked together a bash script that makes it relatively easy to convert KiCad 4 simulations to something that works in KiCad 5.
