IC616 base version above netlisting error

Hi all

when I use IC616 base version above,(include IC616 HOTFIX,IC617,IC618) in  GLOBAL Founderies 0.13um generic and 0.11um true shrink process, 

Spectre netlisting often report error "

ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 219: The instance `R3<3>' is referencing an undefined model or subcircuit, `ppolyf_u_pcell1575840381548207108'. Either include the file containing the definition of `ppolyf_u_pcell1575840381548207108', or define `ppolyf_u_pcell1575840381548207108' before running the simulation."

the subckt define as below

// Library name: gf11baseline
// Cell name: ppolyf_u
// View name: schematic
subckt ppolyf_u_pcell1575840381547973831 PLUS MINUS B
parameters segL=2u segW=2u
R0 (PLUS MINUS B) ppolyf_u l=segL w=segW
ends ppolyf_u_pcell1575840381547973831
// End of subcircuit definition.

Sometimes the names match,sometimes not.

But in IC616 base version ,they always match.

Could someone tell me how to fix this problems in IC616 base above.

Thanks.

    We've seen this too. It's something to do with the way schematic pcells are netlisted and the strange names they are given. Our workaround is Simulation->Netlist->Recreate and then Run.

    This doesn't sound right - so you should contact customer support so that we can investigate.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Unless I know what the problem is, I can't really suggest something (I assume you meant "something" when you wrote "sth") to workaround it. That's why I asked for you to contact customer support.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
