Setting option duplicatemodel=ignore in spectre does not work

Frode Telsto
Frode Telsto over 10 years ago

I run ADEXL (IC6.1.6) and want to redefine a model, and have tried to add duplicatemodel=ignore in my spectre simulations. I have tried to add: 

myOpt options duplicatemodel=ignore

in my modelfile that is included in the simulations. 

I have also tried to add duplicatemodel=ignore in Options->Analog->Miscellaneous->OTHER OPTIONS->Additional Arguments.

But I still get an error when I run my simulation: ERROR: .... Model `nch' has already been defined.

    Hi Frode,

    A couple of things. Are you using a recent enough MMSIM version (this was introduced during the life of MMSIM11.1, I believe) - I expect so?

    The other thing is that if the model is a subckt model, this won't help - you'd have to use duplicate_subckt instead (or as well).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
