How to correctly set the variable simStopNetlistOnPcellFailure?

Jonty

After receiving a netlisting error as shown below (using IC23.1 with spectre 23.1, Assembler environment), I set simStopNetlistOnPcellFailure="ignore" in the CIW window. This worked for single simulations but when I enabled multiple tests or multiple corners, I started seeing the error again. What is the correct way to set simStopNetlistOnPcellFailure?

\o ERROR (OSSHNL-408): Failed to generate the netlist because of a Pcell evaluation error on cellview
\o '****/****/schematic'. Set simStopNetlistOnPcellFailure to "ignore" to prevent this
\o error.

  • I would be a bit wary of setting this without knowing the root cause of the failure - you might get an incomplete netlist for the subckt. However if you are confident that the error is not critical, you can set this variable in the .cdsinit (you may need to ensure that all netlisting jobs (with LSCS) or jobs (with ICRP) are stopped to ensure they pick up the new setting.
