Error during ADE spectre simulation

NorNand

Hello,

I am facing the problem below after running the simulation from ADE spectre,  I made simple CMOS inverter to demonstrate you this error. It looks like ADE is not able to read the model file, I am using the ams 0.35 um technology.

My cadence version is IC6.1.5 64 bit

Error found by spectre in `Test_bench_1':`I0', during hierarchy flattening.
ERROR (SFE-2001): "/home/opt/ams410/c35/cmos53.scs" 29: `I0.MN0': Problem in evaluating 
conditional expression for instantiation: Unknown parameter name `modn' found in expression.

ERROR (SFE-2001): "/home/opt/ams410/c35/cmos53.scs" 593: `I0.MP0': Problem in evaluating 
conditional expression for instantiation: Unknown parameter name `modp' found in expression.

Error found by spectre in `modn':`I0.MN0', in `Test_bench_1':`I0', during 
hierarchy flattening.

Thank you in advance

    My guess is that you may be using an unsupported OS platform, as that's the only time I've seen reports of this error before.

    You might be able to solve it by doing (as the owner of the IC616 installation):

    mv /opt/cadence/IC616/tools.lnx86/lib/vnclibs /opt/cadence/IC616/tools.lnx86/lib/vnclibs_moved

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Deae Andrew 

    Thank you very much for your answer,

    Your suggestions helped me a lot to figure out the problem.

    Now my problem is solved,

    I also found out that the font folder was missing the necessary font format ( dbi75, dbi 100 and dbi basic), so after copying these files the error was cleared

    Thank you once again

    Regards
