Help needed in resolving gpdk180 warning issue

*WARNING* ddMapGetFileViewType: You are trying to run an OA executable on a CDB library file 'symbol.cdb'. The file is in library 'gpdk180' in cell 'nmos' in view 'symbol'. Use cdb2oa to convert your data from CDB to OA and then try again.

I'm getting the following error while trying to use the gpdk180 library.

I'm a complete novice. Please assist in resolving the issue.

Also, while trying to "Attach an existing technology file" when creating a new library, the gpdk file does not show. Can someone tell what might be the case?

Software: Virtuoso 6.1.8

    When using gpdk180, you seem to be accessing the CDB (for IC5141 and before) version of the library rather than the OpenAccess version. In your cds.lib I'm guessing you have:

    INCLUDE /path/to/gpdk180_v3.3/cds.lib

    change that to:

    INCLUDE /path/to/gpdk180_v3.3/cds.lib.oa22

    (you should probably restart Virtuoso having done this).

    Thank you Andrew, this helped almost a week's worth of confusion for me.

    However, I am facing another issue while trying to go for analysis. I am attaching the screenshot of a window that appears when I try to choose the analysis mode in the ADE-L window.

    Please assist.

    This suggests that you don't have the appropriate license. Since I don't know what licenses you actually have, it's probably best if you contact customer support (submit a support case after logging in) on this?
