Post Nestling Skill script

PN202601231518

Hello.

Program:        @(#)$CDS: Virtuoso Studio version IC25.1-64b 02/10/2026 20:26 (cpgbld36) $
Sub version:        sub-version  IC25.1-64b.ISR4.49  (64-bit addresses)

I want to run a skill script after netlisting but before simulation (spectre).

I am having problems to register the skill function to happen post netlisting.

I am using

;; Register the function specifically to fire right before the simulation runs
hnlRegPostNetlistTrigger('Launch_PneavesNetlistHook)

But I get the error

generate netlist...
function My_WriteHierarchicalSources redefined
function Launch_PneavesNetlistHook redefined
Begin Full Re-Netlisting Nov  4 15:16:26 2026
INFO : The user has set 'nlReNetlistAll', Incremental Netlisting will be  disabled and full design shall be renetlisted. Full renetlisting  may cause performance impact. You can enable Incremental Netlisting by setting 'nlReNetlistAll' flag to nil in your .simrc file.
End netlisting Nov  4 15:16:27 2026
ERROR (OSSHNL-411): Stopping netlisting due to SKILL error while formatting devices. To bypass this
check, set the environment variable oss.core stopNetlistingOnFormatterError

      ...unsuccessful.
*Error* failed at creating netlist
WARNING (ADE-1065): No simulation results are available.

Any ideas ? Thanks..
