Calibre fails to export schematic netlist

mhawary85

Hi

When I am trying to do Calibre LVS, it gives me error as "Schematic export failed or was cancelled. Please consult the transcript in the viewer window". Unfortunately, The transcript window is empty!

In the CIW window it explains more about the error which is "ERROR (OSSHNL-116): Unable to descend into any of the views defined in the view list, 'cdl schematic', for the instance 'T0' in cell 'NMOS_pex'. Either add one of these views to the library 'cmos10lpe', cell 'nfet' or modify the view list to contain an existing view. "

 My schematic is just an NMOS transistor with pins connected on its terminals.

Please note that am using IC6.1.6

 

Can anyone help me on that issue?

 

Regards

Mohammad

    Hi Mohammad

    I think you need to "auCdl" as one of the views for exporting the CDL netlist. Would you please look for such a field in the Calibre LVS form and add in "auCdl"?

    Best regards

    Maybe you just need to set the netlisting mode first before starting Virtuoso?

    setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog

    in csh, or:

    export  CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog

    in bash/ksh.

    This should tell it to use the auCdl netlister rather than cdl netlister and also pick the appropriate switch and stop lists by default.

    Quek and Andrew,

     

    Thanks for your Replies! Setting the CDS_Netlisting_Mode environment solved the problem.

     Indeed Appreciated!

    Hi Amit,

    Please read Guidelines for the Custom IC Design Forum. There you will see that you should post a fresh topic thread for your question rather than posting on the end of a 5 year old thread. Please also provide the complete error message (not just the code) and the IC version you're using (as given by Help->About in the CIW).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
