MESFETs

General Form:
zname nd ng ns modname [area=val] [off] [ic=vds,vgs] [icvds=vds] [icvgs=vgs]
Examples:
z1 7 2 3 zm1 off
zout 21 4 16 zmod1 area=5

The nd, ng, and ns are the drain, gate, and source nodes, respectively. The modname is the model name, area specifies the area factor, and off indicates an initial condition of the device for dc analysis. If the area factor is omitted, a value of 1.0 is assumed. The initial condition specified using ic or alternatively icvds and icvgs are intended for use with the uic option in transient analysis, when a transient analysis is desired starting from other than the quiescent operating point. The .ic line provides another way to set initial conditions.

More information can be found in the description of the mes model in 2.17.10.
