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.

    I am using mmsim13.10.186_isr5.

    I am trying to map the TSMC nch model over to nch_mac model by typing:

    model nch nch_mac

    in my model include file. This works if I comment out the mos section in the TSMC model file, but if I would like to  avoid modifying the TSMC file.

    The nch_mac is an inline subckt. 

    I tried to add:

    myOpt options duplicate_subckt=ignore

    before the model mapping line in my model include file, but get the same error.
