ERROR (VACOMP-1008), ERROR (SFE-91), ERROR (SFE-46) in POSTSIM

Duy Hien

Hi everyone,

My system: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) 32 bit, Cadence IC615, MMSIM 13 sub-version  13.1.1.480.isr15

I tested my system by a simple circuit (2 caps) and I could run postsim in this simple circuit.

So I moved to my design. I had no problem when I ran schematic simulation. But I got problem when I tried to run postsim. Here are problems:

Warning from spectre during AHDL read-in.
WARNING (VACOMP-2397): Compilation failed when using pipe build. Bytecode flow will be used for encrypted VerilogA, and normal file compilation will be used for unencrypted VerilogA.

Compiling ahdlcmi module library.

Error found by spectre during AHDL read-in.

ERROR (VACOMP-1008): Cannot compile ahdlcmi module library. Check the log file input.ahdlSimDB//bsource.va.bsource_45bff1.ahdlcmi/Linux/../ahdlcmi.out for details. If the compiler ran out of memory, use 'setenv CDS_CMI_COMPLEVEL 0', and try again. Otherwise, contact your Cadence Customer Support representative with the netlist, log files, behavioral model files, and any other information that can help identify the problem.
ERROR (SFE-91): Error when elaborating the instance bsource_45bff1. Simulation should be terminated.

ERROR (SFE-46): "/tools/cadence/pdk/IBM_PDK/cmrf7sf/V2.0.0.2AM/Spectre/models//diodenwx.scs" 47: `gleak': An instance of `bsource_45bff1' can have at most 0 terminals (but has 2).

I did search and found some thread but I cannot fix. And I wonder why the problems occurred in postsim of a complex circuit?

Please help me.

    This is the first thing you should check. What errors are there in the ahdlcmi.out file (ideally post it here so I can take a look)?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
