Errors due to incorrect pdk file

I tried simulating the following circuit. I plugged in the cds.lib file as the model file before running the simulation.

However, I encountered the following errors:


I am guessing it is a pdk file issue? Maybe I am using the wrong pdk library? Any guidance?

    I don't know what PDK you're using, but you wouldn't specify the cds.lib as a model file since that's not what it is - it's a file that defines the locations of Virtuoso libraries. 

    Most PDKs tend to pre-seed the model files, but if they don't, they should document what to add to the model libraries. I can't give much advice beyond this since I don't know what PDK you're using...

    Regards,

    Andrew

    I realized that I was using wrong components to begin with, and that we do have an actual pdk library on hand. cds wasn't it. Thank you.
