AMS simulation error after removing a verilogA cell from the testbench

RFStuff

Dear All,

I was running a testbench in ADE with AMS engine. It had vHDL and verilogA modules. It was running fine.

But when I removed the verilogA module (i.e. DCO present in VERILOG_A_MODULE_2 library) it shows the following error and simulation doesn't run.

ncvlog: *E,WKLNDF (./INCA_libs/AMSD/ahdl_in/generated_skeleton_ahdl.skl_vams,191|27): library 'VERILOG_A_MODEL_2' is not defined.
module worklib.DCO:veriloga
errors: 0, warnings: 0
Total errors/warnings found outside modules and primitives:
errors: 1, warnings: 5.

Can anybody please tell how to fix this issue.

Kind Regards,

    I've not found any records of that error reporting issues with generated_skeleton_ahdl messages. I think this would be much easier to debug via customer support, as otherwise there would need to be quite a bit of guess work.

    Is this module instantiated in a hierarchical VerilogA module? Which INCISIVE subversion are you using (what does "irun -version" give in the terminal window)? Are you using UNL (Unified Netlister) on the Simulation->Netlist and Run options form? Have you tried checking the "Clean snapshot and pad files" on that form?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Dear Andrew,

    My Netlist and Run option form is as below:-

    With "Clean snapshot and pak files", it indeed works.
