symbols of my pcell nmos/pmos transistors

Dear all, 

I created my required pcell layouts of the pmos/nmos transistors, but i also need to produce the symbols for them.

So i easily copy the standard symbols from "analogLib" library to my own library.

When I try to simulate my schematic using these two symbols, the spectre simulator complains :

Error found by spectre during hierarchy flattening.
    ERROR (CMI-2116): M0: Too few terminals given (0 < 4).

I CHECK the schmatic netlist and found there are NO terminals for my transistors.

Do you have any good idea to solve this error ? 

Thanks

    Did you also copy the cell property bag (data.dm in IC61, prop.xx in IC51)? This contains the CDF for the cell. Also, did you copy the spectre (stopping view) for the transistors too?

    Having fixed this, you may need to do a netlist->recreate.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
