diffstbprobe cause sim fail

Hi,

I use diffstbprobe to check stablity of the loop. The sim got error info in the log as

"The instance `Idiffprb' is referencing an undefined model or subcircuit, `diffstbprobe'. Either include the file containing the definition of `diffstbprobe', or define `diffstbprobe' before running the simulation."

The issue disappear after I recreate netlist then run the sim. 

This happens regularly if I update the design, check and save then to run the simulation directly without recreate netlist independently in advance. 

I am wondering is there any specific point should be payed attention to this cell?

My cds version is: ICADVM20.1-64b.500.33

mmsim version is: 23.1.0.242.isr1

    The only report I've seen of this is when somebody was using an analogLib which was not our analogLib but a modified version of it. The requirement is that in the CDF there is a parameter called "model" with value "diffstbprobe" - do you have that? Where is your analogLib coming from? Is it from the ICADVM20.1 ISR33 installation?
