nlambda must be defined or declared ERROR in ADEXL

Hi I designed a very simple circuit both in schematic and layout, but when I try to simulate it in ADEXL I get an error that "a nlambda must be defined or declared before its use". I couldn't figure it out how to define nlambda. could you please help me. When I simulate my design in ADEL, there is no error, however I need to simulate a circuit with Monte Calro, that is why I need simulate my desing in ADEXL. Thanks

    That sounds like an internal error within the program, and I cannot find any reports of such an error in ADE XL.

    My suggestion would be to first try with the latest IC614 or IC615 hotfix, and if that doesn't solve it, please log a service request at http://support.cadence.com so we can investigate why/when this happens and how to resolve it.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    You'll still need to work with customer support (probably via your University contact). As I said, I have not found reports of this error before, and nlambda is SKILL terminology - I can't see why it's happening here though.

    Andrew.
