Hi, I am characterizing standard cells, but I have the following problem. When I run db_spice, elc says "[WARNING(db_spice)]No spice simulation to do, please check the cell/process list for any error", and it does not do any simulation. Could anyone help me? My elccfg is EC_SIM_USE_LSF=1; EC_SIM_LSF_CMD=" "; EC_SIM_LSF_PARALLEL=2; EC_SIM_TYPE="hspice"; EC_SIM_NAME="hspice"; EC_SPICE_SIMPLIFY=1; EC_CHAR="ECSM-TIMING ECSM-POWER"; SUBCKT = "inv.sp"; MODEL = "tr_model.m"; DESIGNS = "INVX1"; SETUP = "mySetup"; PROCESS = "typical"; and inv.sp is .SUBCKT INVX1 A Z VDD VSS blah_blah..... (this section is too long, so I didn't show it) .ENDS Thank you.
