Problem with ELC tool

I use ELC to characterize a standard cell library. I used SPECTRE simulator with TSMC model (target to Spectre). When I run ELC, there is a error message that apprears when db_spice command is run

Reading SUBCKT:NMOSCAP
[ERROR(db_prepare)] spice syntax error: NMOSCAP : redefinition of the subckt [ file = ./model/./tsmcxxxx.scs, #line = 122760 ]
=> subckt nmoscap ng nds

I had checked postes in forum and found out there is a suggestion for the case of using HSPICE simulator

www.cadence.com/.../20163.aspx

I followed that solution but error is remained

I also check my TSMC model file for SPECTRE simulator and it works fine however it seems that ELC can not successfully load my model.

Is there anybody having the same problem and a solution for it ?

Kind regards

Also define the section to use next to the model.
Something like
MODEL=" path/model_name.scs" section_name

section name could be [tt | ff | ss]_string.
Tell me if this helps. It did the job for my umc std lib.
