No Layout Exists for Resistor Cadence Virtuoso

Hello everyone. I am using Virtuoso XL Schematic for designing a current source. In my design i need to use the resistor of 18k ohms. Right now i am using cadence gpdk045 for the transistors and analoglib for the resistor. I was able to run the simulations on ADE XL. When i open the layout XL, i can see all the instances from my schematic. The only problem i am facing is that when i try to generate the layout of resistor by right clicking on the resistor instance and selecting generate selected from the source, it gives me error "No layout exists". What could be the problem. Thankyou.

    That's hardly surprising, since analogLib is a library of simulation-only components with no layout representation (as it's a technology independent library).

    Why not use one of the resistors from gpdk045? Enable categories in the library browser and you'll see the available resistors. The documentation for the PDK will also give you some details of the makeup of each type of resistor.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
