ibis2subck for IBIS circuit doesn't extract analogmodel

Hi , 

I am trying to import an IBIS file into spectre , but it create a netlist that call intances on "analogmode" master cell. Here is an example : 

........

include "analogmodel.scs" section=corner_typ

subckt XXXX_RSW_ibis

    LR_10 ( _10_o 10 ) inductor l=5.71E-10 r=0.017
    C_10 ( 10 0 ) capacitor c=1.28E-13

* instances
    _1 ( _1_o _1_i ) analogmodel modelname=XXXX_IN_DIR_33_typ_XXXX

ends XXXX_RSW_ibis

.........

But this doesnt work because  import fails because is not able to find analogmode master cell.  

If I use the -extractmodel option like this :

  • ibis2subckt -in XXX.ibs -out YYY.scs -corner typ  -extractmodel yes

it creates a file with only the models :

* [Model] XXXX_DIR_33
model XXXX_DIR_33_typ_XXXX ibis_buffer type=io polarity=noninv enable=low
