I am using TI-TINA9, and I am getting an UNDEFINED MODEL when attempting to add an NXP BFG403W. The SPICE listing provided by NXP passes the 'compile' test from IMPORT PSPICE Netlist. It also does NOT share the NXP-peculiar L=, C=, R= syntax mentioned as being used in other NXP models, as mentioned in another similar post.
The error message shows up after either selecting a device type (the BFG403W is an NPN BJT) or allowing TINA to make it a 'yellow box' three-terminal device, and attempting to assign the base, emitter, and collector to the numerical pins on the package. I will past in a copy of the SPICE subckt file below.
The only thing that I can think of that is giving the program difficulties is that the BJT is packaged in a four-pin package with two emitters, but the initial lines of the SPICE file identifies only three terminals (.subckt BFG403W 1 2 3). Later in the SPICE model, it does 'mention' 4 pins (Q1 4 5 6 6 NPN). There are no dual emitter models in the TINA DDB that I can find.
Do I need to create a new 'device' to put in the DDB, or is this some other problem?
I'm pretty much at wit's end. Every combination I try results in the error message. The model is listed below. Thanks and cheers.

Only changing the model definition to BFG403W from NPN will suffice
it can have 4 pins (4th pin = substrate ) below is general spice syntax for BJT
