AD8338ACPZ-R7

I download the Pspice model of AD8338ACPZ-R7 from the manufacter industry.

But i can't associate the Pspice model to the simbol.

How can i do ?

    If you downloaded the AD8338 model from ADI’s website you have a model which contains “B” type circuit elements.  These elements are LTspice components and differ from the GaAsFET PSpice “B” part.  This model is incompatible with PSpice.

    * BEGIN Notes:
    *
    *
    * Parameters modeled include:
    * Gain bandwidth product
    * Internal 1.5V reference
    * A Gain control pin, configured for cases where MODE=HIGH (increasing gain with increasing voltage)
    * Sensitivity to different input resistors for Gain or attenuation
    * slew rate and step response performance
    * Sensitivity to feedback resistors
    * Noise with respect to input resistors
    *
    * Parameters not explicitly modeled:
    * Offset Nulling Circuit
    * MODE control (increasing, or decreasing gain with increasing voltage)
    * AGC/DetectorOut
