Error in running HSPICE NETLIST using cadence virtuoso ADE L

Chandu D

Hi,

I am trying to go through a tutorial 'FreePDK15:Analog Artist with HSPICE' from the following link. 

https://www.eda.ncsu.edu/wiki/FreePDK15:Analog_Artist_with_HSPICE#Saving_the_HSPICE_Netlist

Once I save the generated HSPICE NETLIST, as inv.sp, I get an error with the following text in CDS.log window and a dialog box opening that says 'hspice: command not found'. 

Can anyone suggets me how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance

  • This means you do not have the hspice executable in your UNIX path, and so it cannot invoke the simulator.

    It means your environment is not set up correctly - in order to run HSPICE you need to have the bin directory from the HSPICE installation in your UNIX path.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
