How do I set the maximum power dissipation limits (power rating) for a
resistor in a PSpice schematic?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have the SMOKE option, or Advanced Analysis? If so, it is in the
SMOKE settings. If it is just vanilla PSpice, you take a look at the
power trace on the part, and see if exceeds limits...

Or learn how to write Macros for use in Probe. I even have one for
safe-operating-area for hot-electron-limited MOSFET's ;-)
