Assistance in filling in data on the mosfets and diodes of the Plecs software, using the datasheet

Hello, my name is Junior and I have a seemingly simple question. regarding filling in semiconductor key fields in a simulation in the Plecs software.

I'm using Mosfet Wolspeed C3M0045065D with diode and I'm also using in my project, a sic diode from Wolspeed E3D30065D.

I have the thermal model in .xml provided by Wolspeeed to insert into the thermal library and components.

Consider ambient temperature=40 degrees Celsius.

I need to configure the C3M0045065D block, as shown in the images below and reading the datasheet I don't know what value to insert in the field circled in the figure below:

I also need to configure the values of the body diode component of the sic MOSFET, as shown in the figures below:

I also need to configure the diode parameters that I use alone in my project, to fill in the data entry fields in the figures below:

Below are the datasheet of the Mosfet with body diode and the datasheet of the 'lone' diode.

I would like to check this completion of the fields, as I implemented the thermal model with a heat dissipation circuit in my project, but the dissipated power is negative for some switches (and this could not happen, as the switches would be absorbing energy).

I would like to check this completion of the fields, as I implemented the thermal model with a heat dissipation circuit in my project, but the power dissipated is negative for some switches (and this could not happen, as the switches would be absorbing energy) and I suspect that it is due to errors in filling out the component information fields.


So I would be very gratful for any kind of help.


Best regards.
