Error During AMS simulation

Arslan

Hi, When I run ams simulator Following error occurs:

E,SPCERR (No source,0|0): The program encountered one or more errors while processing the input SPICE file(s) in the AMSD flow. For details, see the following messages.
------
Irun found errors(s) during the processing of SPICE files in AMSD flow.
These could be fatal simulation front-end (SFE) parsing messages or
errors found during AMS SPICE processing. Correct these errors and
re-run simulation since they will effect the AMS simulation results.

What should I do?

    UPDATE: I'm writing my solution here so future frustrated people can try to find a solution more quickly.

    Although there are errors in the configuration-checker report, I was able to get AMS simulation working by checking the box "Run with 64 bit binary" in ADEL -> Setup -> Environment. Nothing new was installed.

    A rudimentary testbench now appears to be working! Gate models and their containing folder are specified in ADEL -> Simulation -> Options -> AMS Simualtor -> "Library files" and "Library directories".

    Make sure the config stop list includes "verilog", I have mine set as "spectre verilog" and the view list is "spectre spice verilog verilogams behavioral functional systemverilog schematic veriloga vhdl vhdlams wreal", which I believe is the default if you load the AMS template.
