ADE L simulation gave error!

ennng

Dear All,

I am a new on Cadence Virtuoso, I followed one tutorial and done exactly the same but when I tried to simulate I got following error!

  generate netlist...

Begin Incremental Netlisting Nov 18 14:19:20 2019

ERROR (OSSHNL-116): Unable to descend into any of the views defined in the view list, 'spectre cmos_sch cmos.sch schematic veriloga', for the

instance 'MN1' in cell 'inverter100'. Add one of these views to the cell 'nmos' in the

library 'IC-gpdk', or modify the view list so that it contains an existing view.

End netlisting Nov 18 14:19:20 2019

ERROR (OSSHNL-514): Netlist generation failed because of the errors reported above. The netlist might not have been generated at all, or the generated netlist could be corrupt. Fix the reported errors and regenerate the netlist.

...unsuccessful.

I tied to setup-> environment but then what should I include?

Also tried setup->model library

My design is a simple schematic inverter, I used  IC-gpdk technology !

check and save shows no error

INFO (SCH-1170): Extracting "inverter100 schematic"

INFO (SCH-1426): Schematic check completed with no errors.

INFO (SCH-1181): "TEST100 inverter100 schematic" saved.

  • First of all, you posted this question in the Feedback, Suggestions and Questions forum which is for issues with the forum itself, not for technical questions. Luckily I monitor that forum and move any mis-posted threads from there into a more suitable forum.

    I don't know what this "IC-gpdk" library is, but it sounds as if it's missing the stopping views. Can you bring up the library manager, navigate to IC-gpdk and cell nmos, and then post a screenshot of what you see?

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hello Andrew,

    Thank you very much for moving the question,

    Please see attached figure.

    Anyone can suggest!

    Thank you

    It appears that this IC-GPDK library is not designed to be used for simulation. You would normally expect to see (say) "spectre" views for each of the components, and you only have views related to layout or LVS (auCdl and auLvs will be there to support net listing for layout-versus-schematic).

    If the CDF is set up correctly and it's just the stopping view that's missing, you might be able to go into Setup->Environment in ADE and set the view list to include "auCdl" near the beginning, and also add "auCdl" in the stop list. However, if the CDF is not defined for this component, you'd still end up with failures during netlisting because it doesn't know how to netlist this primitive device.

    You should contact whoever created this library and ask them for advice/support.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

    Dear Andrew,

    Thank you for your replay.

    I did ask the Europe distrubitor of the cadance and they suggusted to use GPDK as general technology tool for my simulation as at the moment I am only practice and not required for using a specific technology for manfacturation. So, please advice me from where can I get the correct GPDK to start off!

    Regards

    Assuming you have (or can get) a support account, go to http://pdk.cadence.com - then you can get one of our generic PDKs. What you are using here is not one of our generic PDKs - I don’t know what the origin of it is...

    Regards,

    Andrew
