resistor noise simulation by transient analysis

Hi,

I am trying to run the simple example as depicted in the attached image, taken from Cadence's "Virtuoso Spectre Transient Noise Analysis" document, page 24.
link is support.cadence.com/.../ArticleAttachmentPortal;pageName=ArticleContent&sq=005d0000005nSd1AAE_20173303123103

But, I am not able to implement the resistor (with the user defined parameter kf) as required here!
here is my setup and simulation process:
1>insert instance "res" from analogLib in schematic editor

2>change its "model name" to say "res_mod" and also made a model file (res.scs)


3>then added this model file from ADE->Setup->Model Path. The text put in this model file is:


simulator lang = spectre
model res_mod resistor rsh=1k kf=10e-13

4>set following parameters at "tran" analysis.

I am getting error of following

looks the circuit is not stable, and i searched the forum and found the same topic of following link. but i cannot find the final solution.

could you help to check this? thanks a lot.
