"Error(s) found during netlisting. The netlist may be corrupt"

Hi,

I'm using IC5.1.41 and everytime I start a new simulation, I get this error message. Even when the circuit has not been changed. One example is that, suppose I start an ADE session with design 1, which has been checked and saved (with no errors/warnings); run a simulation and then close the design. Now, if a choose to re-open design 1 and start a new ADE session and run the same previous simulation, I get the above mentioned error message.

Does anyone has any idea on how to stop this message from appearing?

 On a related note, what options do I add to the ".cdsenv" file to stop ADE from quering to save the state and to stop CIW from quering to save the schematic when quiting?

 Thanks in advance. Best regards,

     Often, this error is caused by a cell within your hierarchy that has changed in pinout. As a first try, do a Check->Hierarchy.

    If that does not work, traverse the hierarchy of the schematic and verify that all cells have been checked and saved.

     

    I do not know the answers to your other questions.

     

    Shawn

    Thanks for the reply, smlogan. But as I mentioned on the post, the schematic (and its hierarchy) had already been checked and saved, with no errors/warnings. So, it shouldn't report an error in netling. Reagrds,

    I would suggest that you open a case with customer support so that we can look at this with you. Whilst there are no more hotfixes for IC5141, maybe there is an explanation for why this is happening and we can give you a workaround - but seeing your data will almost certainly be needed.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
