    The GPDK is a Cadence product, you may want to direct your request to Cadence support.

    The most likely explanation is that you've accidentally included the model files twice. Look in Setup->Model Libraries (and Setup->Simulation Files) to see if that's the case if using ADE. In the spectre netlist, look for two include files.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
