It looks like you may have not included a ".lib" command line in the
schematic. For example,
.lib standard.opamp
.lib dly-line.sub
.lib potentiometer.sub
My guess is that you may need an include statement for this particular
case to call the library.
.include max931.fam
But, I haven't used that command yet.

Hello,
I'm experimenting with adding a custom model to use in
SwitcherCADiii (I'm
adding a Max931, but with a 'DIP8' symbol and using the Spice model
from
Maxim -- almost the same as an LTC1540). I have the symbol part
working
(Ralph's guide was very useful, I have some experiences to add about
the
semantics of PINs and their ordering if anyone interesting).
I'm now as far as having the model start to run, but just get a
message box:
Spice error
Error: Unknown device type in: xu1 n003 n002 n001 0 n002 n002 out
0
max931.fam max931
(which just looks like the call to the subcircuit with the filename
and
Value added). There's no additional information in the .log file.
Anyone know how I can get more detailed information on the unknown
device
type, or do I just have to plough through the model 'by eye'?
