Config simulation-Netlist generation failed

Yongqi Hu
Yongqi Hu over 3 years ago

When I run config simulation, it shows that netlist generation failed as shown in the bottom figure, so I change the simulator to AMS, the netlist can be generated successfully, I want to know if the ADE's simulator is set to spectre, config cannot support netlist generation where cells are text, or there are other ways to solve this problem? Hope someone can help me, appreciate that!

    Hi,

    Spectre supports only Verilog-A text views. If your config view contains any other kind of text views (Verilog, System Verilog, VHDL), then you will have to use 'ams' since the simulation will involve both digital and analog kernels. The simulator in this case will be 'xrun' which comes as a part of Xcelium installation.

    Regards,

    Thanks for your reply, I check my config view which is shown in the bottom figure, it does not contain Verilog, System Verilog, VHDL. And the simulators I can use are Spectre, hspiceD, UltraSim, ams, there is no 'xrun', but I have installed Xcelium. So I have two quesitons:

    First: Should I change the config view list?

    Second: How do I set the simulator to Xrun?

     Regards.
