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?

  • Indeed. From a quick experiment, the "feature file" (which is how ADE determines what features the simulator possesses, so that) for MMSIM7X is found even if the path is after IC5141 (because there is no "feature file" in IC5141). But the simulator would get picked up from IC5141 (as Andrew said).

    So it will think it has the features of MMSIM, but actually run the IC version of spectre.

    So all you should have to do is put the MMSIM path first.

    I guess this is really a bug, but since it's something that doesn't make any sense to do, it's very unlikely to get fixed (given where IC5141 is in its life cycle).

    Andrew.
