Error when setting initial condition for the second time and running the simulation

Wing2 over 13 years ago

I am encountering the following error when using ocean syntax to start ams simulation for the second time

*Error* dbFindNetByName: Invalid cellView

The skill code snippet is shown below:

(simulator 'ams)
(design ...)
(solver 'Spectre)
...
(ic "net1" 0.9) ; this step can complete
(run) ; this step gives the error (when this is used a second time)
(delete 'ic)
(hdbClose designName)
(ocnCloseSession)

The first time I run this, it works fine. But subsequent runs (in which the cellview has been changed) produce errors. If I comment out (ic "net1" 0.9), then this error goes away.

I suspect that somehow the simulator/environment has "remembered" the previous cellview when I am using the (ic ...) statement to set initial conditions. Is there a way to fix this problem using skill/ocean code?

Thanks a lot for help

Happy New Year.

I found that upgrading to a new cadence version resolve this problem. Thanks a lot for the help!
