ELC Simulation failed with status 512

 I am trying to create a standard cell library with transistor level model written in verilog A. 

I am getting the following output 

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
               Simulation Summary               
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
-------------+-------------+----------+--------------+-----------
-------------+-------------+----------+------------+-----------+------------
   DESIGN    |   PROCESS   |   #ID    |   STAGE    |  STATUS   |    IPDB
-------------+-------------+----------+------------+-----------+------------
INVX1          typical       D0000     SIMULATE     FAIL        all_cells_tfet
INVX1          typical       D0001     SIMULATE     FAIL        all_cells_tfet
-------------+-------------+----------+------------+----------

 

When I checked the log file for error. I see " Simulation failed with status 512".

What does this error mean? Can anyone help me fix this issue?

 

Thanks

 Rangha

    Hi Thodoros,

    The bisection step must be larger than transient simulation step for convergence. Check it.

    Regards
