How do I use this device in Pspice? (OPA 657, i can't simulate)

In my project, i have to use OPA 657  OPAMP made by Texas instrument.

So I downloaded the essential files to silmulate it like OLB, lib files at here

https://www.ti.com/product/OPA657

And I added  OLB files at C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\capture\library

And I added the lib files of OPA657 to configuration files as global

I designed a simple inverting amplifier like this

But there was an error like this

what is the problem..?( why 75 nodes exceeded..?)

(other device worked well like this)

    The problem is with the complexity of the model. I count 127 internal nodes for the model, as the message states, "only 75 nodes are supported" for the entire circuit without having a license for PSpice to increase, or remove, the node limit. You would need a license for PSpice to be able to simulate this model, even in a "trivial" circuit.

    but sir i did that samely at my university pc room where has license of pspice. there wasn't an error message but it did not show me a simulation graph, only there was a gray sceeen. nothing was there
