ASSURA 3.1.6 error message

Hi,

I am working with IC.5.1.4 (Cadence version 07/08) together with austriamicrosystems HitKitV3.70. I am trying to run DRC with ASSURA 3.1.6 on my layout but I get the following error message:

Reading the design data...
*WARNING* Inconsistent DBUPerUU in the design
*WARNING* 160 is not the same as 1000
*WARNING* Cell:  PRIMLIB pcapacitor symbol
Failed to build VDB.
*****  dfIIToVdb terminated abnormally  *****
*WARNING* dfIIToVdb exit with bad status.
*****  aveng terminated abnormally  *****
*WARNING* /ic_tools/v0708/cds/ASSURA.3.1.6/tools/assura/bin/aveng exit with bad status
*WARNING* Status 256
*WARNING* Assura execution terminated

 I am using austriamicrosystems setup files with design rules. I have been trying to find why are these errors appearing but still have no clue. Can anyone give me any tips?

 

Thanks and regards,

Pedro

    Hi Andrew, thanks for the clue, it looks like you were right. I have 2 pcapacitor symbols on my layout view! Well, I don't know how did they get there, but I definitely do not see these pcapacitors on the Virtuoso Layout Editing window. Do you know how can I do to see them?

    I checked the DRC form and I have the correct values for lib/cell/view fields.

    Thanks,

    Pedro
