    In csh you'd do:

    set path = (<MMSIMinstDir>/tools/bin $path)

    Or in bash/ksh:

    export PATH=<MMSIMinstDir>/tools/bin:$PATH

    You must have something similar to get "virtuoso" in your path from the IC stream.

    (Note, you need to replace the correct path for <MMSIMinstDir> in the above; this is very basic UNIX stuff).

    If it doesn't know where the spectre executable is, there's no way ADE can execute it.

    Hello,

    I want to use the AMS simulator to simulate a system including the VerilogA models and get the same error of ADE-Explorer-1612 error: Simulator no in path. I have tried the mentioned solution but it didn't work out.

    The only difference is that in my MMSIMinstDir we have a Dir named "tools.lnx86" instead of "tools". I also made a new test bench but still the problem exists. 

    I am using Virtuoso IC6.1.7. 

    I would appreciate if you suggest another solution.

    Thanks,

    Andre
