error while running spectre using ic 5141

Bhavsh

I am getting the following error while running spectre..error is

 "*Error* Errors encountered during simulation.The simulator run log has not been generated.

    possible cause could be an invalid command line option for the version of the simulator you are running .Choose Setup -> Environment

    and verify that the command line options specified in the userCmdLineoption field are supported for the simulator.

A lternatively , run the simulator standalone using the runSimulation file in the netlist directory to know the exact cause of the error."

But i didnt give any word in  "userCmdLineoption" of analog design environment window (setup->environment).

how can i solve this?

  • The -maxw and -maxn arguments should only get added if you're using an MMSIM version of the simulator (e.g. MMSIM70, MMSIM71); if using IC5141 spectre, these should not get added.

    I'm wondering if there is some peculiarity which is causing it to think you have MMSIM in the path, but it's not actually in the path. 

    Can you do:

    echo $PATH

    in your UNIX terminal, and paste what it says here?

    I'm wondering if it might be some peculiarity with having MMSIM in your path, but not having the tools link present (note, after this came up last week, we should be fixing the missing tools link shortly).

    It's really advisable to use spectre from an MMSIM release (e.g. MMSIM71) rather than the one in the IC5141 installation, which is rather old. As you can see from the error message when running runSimulation, it is trying to run the spectre from the IC5141 installation.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
