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

leangineer
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!

    The first two attempts show you have a problem accessing licenses, but presumably the license became available when you ran "viva -64". I've no idea why the graph window doesn't appear - this is very odd.

    You're running an unsupported OS (Ubuntu), but I doubt that's the reason. As I said before you should try installing a more recent version to see if that fixes it, and if not, contact customer support.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew, 

    I have checked lots of different websites and also read this thread but I could not solve my issue. Whenever I run a long transient simulation I cannot have the results by getting this error "net /vstore selected but not highlighted". When I run less than 1 ms, I can see the results but when I run more than that which I need 4 ms I cannot see the results. I have also checked my netlist and the nodes that I am looking for are mentioned to be saved there. Any comment or idea? 

    Regards,

    Mehdi

    Hi Medhi,

    The first (pinned) post in each forum is a set of guidelines for posting in the forum. This asks you not to post on the end of old threads (I’ll let you off this time) but more importantly asks you to provide the software versions you’re using.

    I’d need to know the Virtuoso subversion you’re using (Help->About in any window will tell you) and also the spectre version (this will be in the spectre.out simulation log that appears when you run spectre). Also, if you look in ADE at the Outputs->Save All form at the bottom, does it show the output format you have selected?

    Regards,

    Andrew
