analogy over 10 years ago

I have created a model card , but seems like ADE cannot plot output after simulation.Below is my ADE log:

This is what my CDF and library decleration looks like:

When I run ADE simulation, all I get is a blank waveform window.Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks.

    It seems that back in term mapping I didn't add nil D:\d... , this is what caused specter to generate M0D (I assume).
