Unable to run PVS Quantus extraction in cds_ff_mpt (finfet 18nm)

nikhil2798gp

Hello

I am trying to run PVS Quantus extraction on a layout that is LVS clean I have attached the images showing setup and the errors I am getting. Kindly help me how to resolve this issue.

When I checked the log file for errors it shows below error
*Error* _iliGetSlotSpecs: not a class object or class name – vfoAdvGuardRing

Please find the error log & snippets in the drive link :

Thank you.

Regards,

Nikhil

  • Can you attach the errors and logs and images here rather than on a google drive? I cannot access that...

    Hi Andrew
    I am also seeing the similar issue and the exact error. 
    But I am unable to upload error logs or images.
    So I am copy pasting 2 snippets from error logs. Kindly bear with me.
     you can confirm if you are seeing the same error. SO that I am not hijacking this thread. If you are seeing different error I will start a new thread

    Knowing the Quantus and IC sub-version (and PVS too) might help here? (at the command line, type "quantus -version" "pls -version"' and "virtuoso -W")

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Ganesh,

    I would suggest you start by trying to run something newer - Quantus is 5 years old, and the other tools are similarly old. Ideally use the latest versions of Quantus, IC (Virtuoso) and PVS. If it still fails, then contact customer support.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    As you mentioned upgrading to the latest version has solved this issue!!
