Getting error in simulation

affaq
affaq over 15 years ago

I am working in virtuoso 5.1.41 and have got ADE (L) and spectre ver. 5.10.41. I am trying to simulate 90nm design and have connceted design corners correctly. When I tried to simulate a design I get an error saying "illegal library definition found in netlist" and the .scs file to which it is directing is my design corner file. Also in CIW shows the error after successfully running the simulator as "Failed to get the MPS handle". Can anybody guide me where to look g´for and how to solve it? 

Any help is really appreciated.

 Thanks,

Affaq

     I never though I will get back an answer, even it is not a good excuse I really apologize. 

    Well I get few errors and I don't undrestand what are they? 

    1 - Forexample my 90nm technology works well on solaris , but when I run it on linux it doesn't work  which it gives me an error 'failed to get the MPS handle'

     

    2- My 180nm technology works on linux and it stops when I run it on solaris !!!

     

    3- My 65nm technology gets the error  'illegal library definition'.

     

    Any help will be appreciated, 

    Thanks, Morteza
