Hi Bert, All,
When I get access to the full boar pspice I will
try your suggestion.  I will keep trying.

Barry,

How about a pair of Zener diodes in series, with Vz = 180 volts/gap to
represent the gap (or a lower voltage for a higher current sytem).
Unfortunately, the freebie-version of my PSPICE apparently doesn't let
me use even this simple model...
