can't plot waveform while simulating in cadence virtuoso via spectre

Hello!

I can't plot waveform while simulating in cadence virtuoso IC 6.1.5 via spectre.

When I initiate Netlist and Run (green button), these are the results:

Delete psf data in /home/eda/simulation/R_div/spectre/schematic/psf.
generate netlist...
Begin Incremental Netlisting Apr 6 23:23:36 2014
End netlisting Apr 6 23:23:36 2014

The netlist is up to date.
Time taken to compare the design with netlist: 0.0s
...successful.
compose simulator input file...
...successful.
start simulator if needed...
...successful.
simulate...
INFO (ADE-3071): Simulation completed successfully.
reading simulation data...
...successful.
net /in selected but not highlighted
net /out selected but not highlighted

---Any solutions? Thank you!

    Hello, Tom! Thanks for the reply.

    Below is the code for my generated netlist:
