CPA200 - LTspice missing nodes error

I need Help!!!

The attached cpa200 amplifier schematic refuses to be simulated in LT spice. The error message is "missing node(s)". I can't see that. The amp does not use any submodels, which could have some errors of that kind or anything like that. The amp is pretty standard and all the components are standard.

Could you please enlighten me and help to solve the problem.

Thanks,
cheers,
PS the second asc file has current limiter included

No (lol) I added my usual 'discrete models' file and looked to see what errors were thrown up. I snipped the 4007 diodes out, used MJL21194c and MJL21193C for the outputs and MJE340/350 for the drivers. The two 12 volt zeners I used default models for. I think that was all I changed.

And I cut all the .op commands out and reverted to basics :D
 
Great thanks, that was it. I placed variable and Var_500 as text but the system somehow automatically coded it as spice directive and I did not notice it. Great thanks again. Problem solved.

By the way, what do you think about this amp? AlexM asked me to simulate it as he's got pcb design for it. Now, that I have simulated it I see that it does not look so good.

cheers,

I also had a "missing node" error and I tried to find the solution; that way I found this thread.

My error came from a comment I made as a memory pad, but alas - - I had marked it as a 'Spice Directive'.
It was this:
laplace ((75e-6*s+1)*(3.183e-3*s+1))/((3.183e-4*s+1)*(3.183e-6*s+1))​
that I wanted to store because I abbreviated the equation by taking out the last part of the equation.
Ticking the 'comment' box made the error disappear.

Hope this might help someone.
