ADE XL Error 5012 Netlisting issue with extracted parasitics

You didn't say which version you're using, but this might be the same as an issue which was fixed in IC616 ISR3 (it was around for a while before the root cause was found). If you're using this or a later subversion and it still occurs, please contact customer support as we'll almost certainly need a testcase to reproduce it.

Kind Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the quick response!

I am using IC615. Is there a workaround in this version?

Thanks!

This is something to do with out-of-context probing of signals from the schematic corresponding to the extracted view (I think). I'm not sure if there's a workaround because I've not seen a testcase which shows the problem.

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the feedback, understood there may not be a fix. Prior to the error posted above, I receive a large number of warnings, could these be related?

 The property that is generating the errors is presented as a radio button. Short of modifying the model myself (I would have no idea how to do that), I can't think of a way to change the type of the property.

 generate netlist...
