I imagine there are a lot of problems with this circuit - it's just a conceptual idea right now, that may be way off. Having said that, I can't even get LTspice to run and show me how it fails to work, blows up, whatever. The added component data for the SCR is from here:

I've only done a few other LTspice simulations, and none of the others have included any parts that didn't come with LTspice, so I'm willing to bet this is user error on my part - doing something wrong with how I included this part model. The error I get when I try to run a simulation is:
And here's the circuit I'm trying to simulate.
Again I'll say that I was in a rush and just wanted to see if I could get it to run at all for now. I have yet to calculate proper values for most of the resistors. Also, I plan to use a different opto (Fairchild Semiconductor MOC3063SR2M) but couldn't find a model for it either. If I ever get this sim to run, it'll probably kill the opto immediately unless I change the operating voltages. Ignoring component values, etc. any idea why it won't even run?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
