terminals "cannot be found in the switched master of the instance"

funfet

I get the message in the title when I try to simulate my circuit. The circuit contains a symbol of a custom device which I described in Verilog-A code. I know the Verilog-A code should work because I just copy/pasted it from a code which has worked in the past. How can I resolve this issue?

Below is the full error message.

    To debug this, would need to see several things:

    1. The top of the veriloga module - showing the module line and the port definitions
    2. What the switch view list is (or config) - i.e. which view is being switched into

    It appears to me that the "veriloga.cdb" file in the test_func11/veriloga cellView hasn't got any record of the p and n terminal - so maybe you saved and exited the editor when there were errors in the VerilogA? 

    Can you open the veriloga view, add a blank line, save and exit the editor - see if you get any parser messages and see if that resolves it. I could get you to run some SKILL to take a look at the database, but it seems a bit pointless given that it's clearly wrong.

    My guess is that the veriloga code has been edited outside of icfb, but who knows? You'll have to remind me which version of spectre you're using (I can see from the image dump that it's IC5141 for icfb though just from the graphics). I can't remember the versions used by every user on the forums, unfortunately (which is why the forum guidelines ask you to provide this information).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
