ADE-XL error

Hi,

 when I start ADE-Xl monte carlo simulation in CIW I get following errors:

ERROR (ADE-5014): Variable 'fixStepSet': value Step Period not found in choices list ("Step Size").

Virtuoso 6.1.4-64bit

 There is no simulation progress

After some time I get EDEXL-1921 error, like in www.cadence.com/.../20757.aspx

ldd command yields:
root@Workstation:# ldd Cadence/IC610/tools/dfII/bin/Xndx
    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7732000)
    libgdbm.so.2 => /usr/lib32/libgdbm.so.2 (0xf770a000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf76e4000)
    libelf.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libelf.so.1 (0xf76d3000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf76cf000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7575000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7733000)

Everything seems to be fine but it does not work.

 
Please help to get it run.

    This is covered in solution http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:ViewSolution;solutionNumber=11661272

    You need to be using a recent enough MMSIM release (it suggests MMSIM72 in the solution) - the problem occurs if you're using too old an MMSIM release (e.g. MMSIM71).

    Note I have some slight doubts about the solution, but perhaps you can state what spectre version you were trying to use?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
