LTSpice - Importing a New Component Model for Simulation

Here’s 2 ways I go about importing a SPICE model downloaded from a manufacturer for more accurate simulations if I want to see how a specific part performs. Using an op amp as an example, we can see how the ideal op amp compares to an LM358 model. One import method uses the .lib directive to include the model and then just assign it to the existing op amp schematic symbol for the generic op amp. The other method is to have LTSpice auto-generate a schematic symbol that can be dropped into the schematic if there are no suitable symbols already available. This is useful for unique parts like obscure ICs.
