ERROR (OSSHNL-524) - Nport

HnArd

Hi,

I have instantiated an n-port cell from analogLib in ICADVM20.1. I am trying to netlist the schematic but I am getting this error message. Does anyone know what this error is and how to fix it? 

"ERROR (OSSHNL-524): Netlisting failed because the function 'hnlNetNameOnTerm' was called with a non-existent terminal 'common' on the current instance 'NPORT0' in the design 'sandbox_hak/test/schematic'. Provide a valid terminal name with this function and regenerate the netlist.\n\n"

This is a 2-port nport.

Thanks.

    My guess is that you’re not using analogLib from the same virtuoso version that your using, and your cds.lib is pointing at an older analogLib from elsewhere. That can cause this type of error because the netlist procedure expects certain capabilities which are probably missing in the old analogLib version.
