 i've just finished the installation of cadence ic5141 and mmsim61 and configuration.

 when i simulating a simple inverter circuit in ADE,it gives the error messages below:

 

cpp: unrecognized option `-$'
Environment variable:
    SPECTRE_DEFAULTS=-E
Command line:
    /usr/eda/cadence/MMSIM61/tools.lnx86/spectre/bin/32bit/spectre -env  \

Internal error found in spectre.  Please run `getSpectreFiles' or send the netlist, the spectre log file, the behavioral model files, and any other information that can help identify the problem to support@cadence.com.
    Segmentation fault.

    It's impossible to diagnose without more information. Maybe you should try taking your input.scs and running from the command line and see if it reveals more information about the root cause.

    Potentially there might be some sensitivity to what is in your input.scs, but without seeing that and knowing the precise version of spectre, it's hard to know. Even repeating this within Customer support could be a challenge as the version of spectre you're using is old and unsupported, as Tawna mentioned - but Customer support would do their best to help you (I'm advising that because you may not be able to post the netlist here, and certainly not the model files).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
