EMIR issue (failed to plot resistor)

NovikovBoris

Hi,

    I tyr to use EMIR flow for my design. Made the following steps:

- calibre extraction

- ultrasim simulation for EM/IR database

- use usimEmirUtil for EM/IR report

so..  usimEmirUtil mades me IR report (*.rpt_ir) but can not to plot resistors to EMIR view. I see the following error in the usimEmirUtilOA.emirlog

***ERROR***: failed to plot resistor:rvdd/1410178

and so on for all resistors

DSPF (extracted from layout by calibre) file contains everything: $w,$l,$layer,$X,$Y,$X2,$Y2 as physical paramteres from layout

I do not know where I could miss somthing that EMIR can not to plot resistor at the end.

thnx

    Andrew,  

     Problem was in scaled W/L for resistors.. I missed that when made DPSF for EMIR simulation.

    Basically Cadence need to make error message like... "Could not to plot resistors; (resistor width too low)" something like that. I had not scaled resistors in DSPF. DSPF had real sizes (W/L).
