Modifying an extracted view for post layout simulation.

ghrshomali

I am using IC 5.1.41 and Calibre 2010.4. I have an extracted view which is extracted by Calibre and I want to use it for post-layout simulation. When I modify the extracted view, Analog environment gives the following error:

ERROR: Netlister: the cellview **** was modified since last extraction.

Is there any way to modify an extracted view and use it for post layout simulation?

Thank you very much.

     Hi Andrew,

     I would like to know if there is another ( new??) possibility to simulate an extracted view which was modified by me. In fact, I use Cadence 5 because I use an old version of PDK technology and, when I choose to delete some parasitics on the extracted view, a message appear which is :  "ERROR (OSSHNL): Error(s) found during netlisting. The netlist may be corrupt or may not be produced at all. To generate correct netlist, fix the errors and re-netlist." I 've seen on your previous topic that we can use the command "dbSetConnCurrent(geGetEditCellView())" to solve this probleme but it doesn't work in my case. Besides, It appear a new error message : " Message: *Error* dbSetConnCurrent: argument #1 should be a database object (type template = "d") at line 20 of file "*ciwInPort*" Entering new debug toplevel due to error ". So, I would like to know if I can fix that problem.

     Regards
