    It's very hard to tell from the log file precisely what you've done wrong, but it looks as if you've managed to pass a netlist to something that is expecting a VLR file - it looks like something in CDL/SPICE syntax but it's not expecting that.

    I'd say we'd need to see your Assura input setup - it might just be simpler to go to customer support so an application engineer can take a look at your files.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
