Hello, I'm trying to do rail analysis in Encounter 9.11 with EPS XL. Early rail analysis works fine, but sign-off level analysis doesn't work. Following is the part of a log file. What could be the source of this problem? Running RC extraction for net vdd ... Invoking: "zx -vstorm -cmd ./work/zx_vdd.cmd" ...

     Please look at your Fire & ice ZX log. Is is because of parsing of DEF or mapping file.

     Thanks,
