TINA/Spice/OPA633: Simulation in LT Spice causes "floating node" error

Part Number: OPA633

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

I am looking for help running simulations of a design involving multiple OPA633 op amps. When I attempt to do so, I get a "floating node" error.

Important details:

1. I downloaded the Spice model from the TI website. Both the TINA and PSpice models cause the same error.

2. I generated the LT Spice model by creating a symbol from the .lib file.

3. The resulting model has 4 pins: VDD, VSS, IN, and OUT.

4. These pins are connected to the following signals: VDD/SS to +/- 5VDC, IN to an AC voltage source, OUT to the load.

The problem:

Simulating the OPA633 in LT Spice yields the following error:

Singular matrix: check node u8:7

This circuit has floating nodes.

It then outputs the following error log:

Questionable use of curly braces in "b§gi10 98 45 i={if((v(z)/v(w))<(2.01/21),(v(xout)*v(yout))/(1.05*(1-(v(z)/v(w)))),((v(xout)*v(yout))/(1.05)))} "

Error: undefined symbol in: "if(([v](z)/v(w))<(2.01/21),(v(xout)*v(yout))/(1.05*(1-(v(z)/v(w)))),((v(xout)*v(yout))/(1.05)))"
