In addition there's a standard.mos file, I assume that's just for common/standard fets without pin/layout design?
 
Ah, I assume "nmos" isn't correct as it's a subcircuit, but how in earth do you find where the subcircuit is when you go "add component"?

Nothing (no Diodes Inc devices
file "standard.dio" found at c:\program files\ltc\.......cmp\ (depends on which windows version)
can be edited in LTC or any text editor.

I added this to the top line of the file and saved.
Note what is bold needed to be added by hand.
Remove any " + ". or keep it all on one line.
.model UF1001 D(IS=125u RS=17.5m BV=50.0 IBV=5.00u CJO=79.6p M=0.333 N=3.75 TT=72.0n Iave=1 Vpk=50 mfg=Diodes type=silicon)
Iave= (amp rating ), Vpk= (voltage max), mfg= name of company, type= silicon/zener/etc
 
OK, so what's the point in the subcircuit folder?

These standard.* files are in LTspice specific format? If it's possible to drop in SPICE files and use them I'd be happier!

I don't know how to add a spice sub folder ...... (maybe that is how I created ICs)
I do know how to add to the "standard" file.
If I used spice more (looking for a job like that) I would import lists like from "diodes inc" and modify them in an editor/spreadsheet then save them for backup. I really want my standard files to be much longer. (years ago my files were 3x longer)
 
Thing is if I do that chances are I'll miss off some of the characteristics and it might come to bite me in the prototype. I've been prototyping before simulation and I must stop!

I figure

MODEL NMOS NMOS LEVEL = 3 VMAX = 5.378E+005 ETA = 0.001 VTO = 1.378
+ TOX = 6E-008 NSUB = 1E+016 KP = 59.42 U0 = 400 KAPPA = 10

Is the data I need from the subcircuit, but the ltspice format looks to be quite different:-

.model IRFP240 VDMOS(Rg=3 Vto=4 Rd=72m Rs=18m Rb=36m Kp=4.9 Lambda=.03 Cgdmax=1.34n Cgdmin=.1n Cgs=1.25n Cjo=1.25n Is=67p ksubthres=.1 mfg=International_Rectifier Vds=200 Ron=180m Qg=70n)
 
Sorted!

It's a long winded video which explains it:-
Essentially right click on component while holding control, change Prefix to capital X, value to the subcircuit name. Add a spice directive (.OP button) to include the subcircuit file.
