SPICE subcircuits can be parsed with the Tools > Parse PDN Netlist menu.
The parser simply converts alpanumeric node names to numeric names.,Parameters:Parameters:Quantity in parallel:1:0::REAL:0:1:The number of capacitors in parallel.,::Use IC?:::::::,Parameters:Use IC?:Initial condition:1:0:V:REAL::1:The capacitor initial condition in volts.

This parameter is passed into the model as parameter name IC.
If the Use IC? checkbox is checked\\, the model parameter USEIC is set to true.,Parameters:Use IC?:The USE IC? checkbox is passed as parameter USEIC.
The Initial condition value is passed as parameter IC.
Your subcircuit model can use these parameters for initialization.

Note that most subcircuit capacitors do not have a parameterized intital condiition.
You have to manually edit the model to use the USEIC and IC parameters.
