Is there a way to place warnings in the spice model file?

Hi,
I have a spice model file for a diode. Its breakdown voltage is 12V. I was wondering, is it possible to change the model file so I can put in a warning or the file would issue a warning when the breakdown voltage exceeds 12V?
Thanks in advance.
 

This can not be done in regular SPICE. You can do this in PSpice. PSpice allows you to put warning and error condition in your models. You can also use .WATCH command to apply hi & low voltage limit on specific node, but this is done at circuit level instead of at model level.

You can also use PSpice Smoke Analysis to check the device stress level for all circuit element. This tool let you verify the voltage/current/power/temperature seen by device against rated value. I believe this is what your ultimate goal is.
