IV Characteristic of 1N4001

Adjust the Voltage source from 0V (10mV) to 1V
You should be able to see the point where Diode current increases exponentially, hence revealing the knee point

The breakdown voltage could also be found by flipping the voltage source and gradually increase the voltage from 10mV to the breakdown voltage

You also replace fixed voltage siurce with a variable source to see when diode acts commutation. http://everycircuit.com/circuit/5752922626064384
