I want to change the SPICETool to LTspice. I am trying to parameterize a sic mosfet using this function like in ee_SiC_mosfet_tabulated example. here is the code I'm using
%% Set Lookup Table Data From a SPICE subcircuit
%% Description:
%
% Generate lookup table data from a SPICE subcircuit file and set lookup
% table parameters for the N-Channel MOSFET (Lookup Tablez-Based) model.
% Copyright 2022 The MathWorks, Inc.
%% Open model
model = 'ee_SiC_mosfet_tabulated';
if ~bdIsLoaded(model)
open_system(model)
end
blockName = [model, '/N-Channel MOSFET'];
%% Set the SPICE simulation parameter to extract lookup table data
subcircuitFile = fullfile(matlabroot, "toolbox", "physmod", "elec", ...
"eedemos", "applications", "devicecharacteristics", ...
"C2M0025120D.lib"); % File path of the SPICE subcircuit file
subcircuitName = "C2M0025120D"; % The subcircuit name of the device model
outputPath = fullfile(matlabroot, "toolbox", "physmod", "elec", ...
"eedemos", "applications", "devicecharacteristics", ...
"C2M0025120D"); % The path of the generated SPICE netlists and the simulation output files
SPICEPath = "C:\Program Files\LTC\LTspiceXVII\XVIIx64.exe"; % The path of the SPICE simulation engine executable
terminals = [1,2,3,0,5]; % Terminal orders in the subcircuit
% Define the gate-source voltage range, drain-source steps, and temperature
% steps for the transfer characteristics of the SiC MOSFET
flagIdsVgs = 1; % Flag for transfer characteristics

VdsStepsIdsVgs = [0.1:1:20.1,30:10:1200]; % Vds steps
T = [25 100 175]; % Temperature steps

% simulation parameters for capacitance characteristics

save('lookuptable.mat','lookuptable') % Save the lookuptable data in a MAT-file.
%% Set lookup table parameters for the N-Channel MOSFET
% Load the lookuptable MAT-file
load("lookuptable.mat")

set_param(blockName, 'Vgs_vec', mat2str(lookuptable.channel.VgsVec'));

Do check out this documentation link where the SIMetrix and LTSpice results are compared-
