Challenges with running Transient simulation on Spectre

besafoli

 i have attached the error message i get when i run transient simulations.

would be grateful if i could get a solution to this

  •  Hi besafoli,

     

    I noticed that you are using an extremely old version of Spectre (6.2) that is no longer supported.  There have been many improvements to Spectre since then.  I strongly encourage you to upgrade to MMSIM7.2 (available on downloads.cadence.com).

     The error message font is pretty tiny and difficult to read, but I believe this is a common issue reported in Solution  1838670 on http://support.cadence.com .  One potential cause for this error is the CDS_Netlisting_Mode is not set to Analog.

    To resolve the problem, exit the tool and set the environment variable either in the xterm you are using by typing:  

     setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog"

    Then restart the software.

     best regards,

    Tawna

  • Thank you very much... i added the setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog" line to the .cshrc file of cadence. the simulation is working perfectly and other challenges i faced with LVS have been solved....
