****ERROR****: Unmatched double quote for string:

Romay

when i simulating a simple inverter circuit in ADE .Initially, I used Spectre simulator and the simulations proceeded with no errors. However, it look a very long time. Then, I switched to Ultrasim simulator. While doing simulations with the same test-bench(as used while running Spectre simulations), I'm getting the following error:

Successful checkout of ULTRASIM license with total wait time of 0 sec.

I  looked in the netlist for "" (double quotes) and didin't find .

Could you please help me in sorting-out this issue? 

Any help is appreciated.

  • Hi Romay,

    I found a couple of reports of a similar problem, in a similarly old version of Ultrasim. Back then (if my memory is correct) Ultrasim used its own front end (parser) and had not yet moved to the new common front end that spectre uses. In some complex cases it had trouble parsing the model files.

    The version you're using is old and no longer supported (it's over 4 years old). In the cases that were reported, the problem was resolved by moving to a newer version.
    Since there have been MMSIM62, MMSIM70, MMSIM71 and MMSIM72 as major releases since this version, I would suggest you move to the latest MMSIM72.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
  • Ideas? Sure! If you're using a supported version of MMSIM and still seeing this problem then you should be contacting Cadence support directly for immediate assistance; this forum is not a direct line of support. That's what your money's paying for! ;-)

  • Andrew,

    The "ideas?" posts were actually from one of our IT guys trying to track down an intermittent problem with posting to the forums. Usually he deletes the posts before anyone gets to look at them - but he needed to actually post to see if the problem occurred.

    Thanks for the comments about using customer support though - I agree entirely!

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Got it. Looks like he has deleted them now. Gotta love discontinuities in discussion timelines. ;-)

    Andrew.
