How to resolve this error while adding element in AWR?

While adding an element from a netlist in AWR, I got the error 'The element type being dropped is not compatible with the window it is being dropped into'. The contents of the netlist file are as follows:

.subckt BFG520W base collector emitter npn
.model BFG520W NPN(IS=1.016E-15 NF=1.000 BF=220.1 IKF=510E-3 VAF=48.06
+ ISE=2.83E-13 NE=2.035 NR=0.988 BR=100.7 IKR=2.352E-3
+ VAR=1.692 ISC=24.48E-18 NC=1.022 RB=10.00 RE=0.7753
+ RC=2.21 CJC=447.6E-15 MJC=0.07 VJC=0.1892
+ CJE=1.245E-12 TF=8.616E-12 TR=5.437E-12 mfg=NXP)

I am attaching images of the element created by this netlist and the error I am getting while adding this element.

    Use compatible component or similar type of component in the schematic active window.  I guess you are trying to add System Blocks component into schematic window, which is not allowed.
