Spice lib

 I convert my project from 5 to 6 version.

When I try to simulate with old library this message appears.

When I write "simulate lang = spice" in My *.scs lib file this appears

Description of MOS tran with nmos param

How can I use this model to simulate project? That lib works in Cadence 5.

 //There is no name like nmos4, pmos4

.model  kn nmos level=2 phi=.65 tox=55n xj=.34u tpg=0

*.subckt mkn d g s b
*mkn d g s b kn w=w l=l
*.ends mkn

I try add  .model  kn [b]nmos4[/b] level=2 phi=.65 tox=55n xj=.34u tpg=0
+ VTO=0.5 LD=0.15u  WD=.04u  UO=460
+ NSUB=25E+15
+ CJ=0.0004 
+ GAMMA=1.1

That does not solve the problem.
