.MODEL modelname modeltype ( param1=val1 [ param2=val2 ]... )
This statement specifies a set of model parameters that are used by one or more devices. .model statements often reside in model libraries.
| modelname | Model name. Any text string to uniquely identify model. Must begin with a letter but may contain any legal ASCII character other than a space and period '.' . |
| modeltype | Model type. See tables below for possible values |
| param1, param2 etc. | Parameter name. Valid values depend on the model type. (See Simulator Devices) |
| val1, val2 etc. | Parameter value. |

It is possible to define SOA limits within the .MODEL statement. To do this, add one or more parameters in the following format:
LIMIT(name)=(min, max, xwindow)
| name | Name of quantity to test. See format for access variables useable when MODEL is specified for a .SETSOA statement. This is described in .SETSOA. E.g. use 'LIMIT(vcb)' to specify the limits for the collector-base voltage of a BJT. |
| min, max | As described in .SETSOA. |
| xwindow | As described in .SETSOA. |
