Missing Spectre Netlist for a fully Custom PCell using skill

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a N-JFET for CMOS Technology. I have created with SKILL the layout and schematic with his associated cdf. I have also created a model(.scs) to be able to simulate the device. The first problem I have is that the netlist either failed to be created or the transistor is not present in the netlist. I haven't found how to solve this problem on the support page. The second problem is when I hand-made the netlist the simulation worked and gave good results. However I can't plot the current of the transistor like the drain current. It seems that the terminals isn't mapped correctly.

WARNING* In Save statement: None of the nets/terminals got successfully mapped.

WARNING (ADE-3022): Schematics of the following net names could not be mapped to

        simulators. Ensure that the specified schematic names are valid.

        /N0/d

For this problem, the solution I found on support or in the community doesn't work. Every terminal have its cdsterm in the schematic symbol.

I used Virtuoso 6.1.8 and ADE L

Thanks, in advance for your helped

    Not enough information to work on. The presence or otherwise of cdsTerm() labels won't affect simulation results - what matters is the CDF and presence of a stopping view (it's not clear whether you have a schematic PCell, or a schematic view or just a symbol and spectre view.

    Given the lack of info here, I strongly suggest you contact customer support so that you can provide the necessary information to debug what you've incorrectly implemented.
