ncsim: *E,STRPIN: Could not initialize SimVision connection: SimVision process terminated before a connection was established.

Dear All,

I have enabled SimVision for a AMS simulation. For batch mode ViVa it had worked fine.

But with SimVision mode it is giving following error.

ncsim: *E,STRPIN: Could not initialize SimVision connection: SimVision process terminated before a connection was established.

Could anybody please tell why it is happening and how to get over this.

Kind Regards,

    Not sure what IC version you're using, but this article may help explain it: Simvision exiting with STRPIN error when running AMS in ADE XL interactive simulations on remote host

    Dear Andrew,

    I am running -->

    virtuoso -W
    sub-version IC6.1.8-64b.500.14
    irun -version
    TOOL: irun(64) 15.20-s086

    Actually, I am running locally.

    Further, we observe that in ADE-l/XL we are at first able to open SimVision by Tools-> Simvision tools  and can run simulation successfully with Simvision.

    But, then when we try to run Test Editor of adexl, we see the above error. After that we could not run SimVision  even in ADE-L/XL. We then have to close virtuoso and restart to be able to run the sim in ADE-l/XL but NOT in the TESTeditor.

    Kind Regards,

    I just tried with IC6.1.8 ISR15, and irun 15.20-s080 (so slightly older; I haven't updated my INCISIVE152 build on my local machine recently), and this ran fine from the ADE XL test editor.

    Given that ADE XL is now past end-of-sale, I would suggest you move to using ADE Explorer/Assembler instead (as well as XCELIUM) and hopefully all will work OK then. Not sure it is that likely to be a general bug (but some environment issue) since it works OK in my environment with similar versions, but I doubt we'd fix it anyway if it was a bug (since it only happens in obsolete tools in a very narrow situation).

    Andrew.

    Well. Is it possible to make my environment of ADE XL same as of yours.

    Without knowing what's causing your issue, I can't say. I don't know what the reason might be - customer support would probably be the best option here as then one of the team can take a closer look at your setup.

    Andrew.
