    First of all this is nothing to do with "the simulator". It's the schematic editor, not the simulator (sorry for being pedantic).

    The noConn is a no-op component. It's ignored for netlisting in all netlisters and the only purpose is to "tie off" floating nets for the schematic checker. I already said that, so not sure why you need me to repeat it. Don't you believe me?

    A search for "noConn" in the documentation would lead you to a section "Bypassing checks" - in particular "Bypassing Floating Pin Checks" in the Virtuoso Schematic Editor L User Guide.

    Andrew.
