ncsim: *F,RNAERR: The simulator terminated with an analog initialization error.

RFStuff

Dear All,

I installed INCISIV152 and I tried to run a AMS simulation using ADE-L. It ran successfully.

When I used ADE-XL for the same set-up, I got the following errors.

ncelab: Memory Usage - 49.9M program + 59.2M data = 109.1M total (Peak 243.3M)

    Thanks Andrew. The simulation ran.

    But, when I am trying to change the Analysis (like the simulation time of Tran), it is not taking. I get the following error in CIW.

    *Error* geGetTopLevelCellView: argument #1 should be a window type (type template = "w") - nil

  • in reply to RFStuff

    Can you please let me know what getVersion(t) returns? Then do the following:

    _stacktrace=50

    and repeat changing the analysis - then report what it shows in the CIW. If it still only shows just one line, try also:

    sstatus(errsetTrace t)

    and try again.

    This may help me narrow down what's failing (I did a quick search and didn't find anything obvious).

    Dear Andrew,

    I closed CIW and restarted virtuoso.

    I entered 

    _amsUISimFeatures->spectre_commandline_logstatus=nil     in CIW.

    I then did-->

    getVersion(t)
    "sub-version IC6.1.8-64b.500.14 "

    _stacktrace=50
    50

    I then changed the analysis. I didn't see anything in CIW and I see the change is being taken.

    I entered  the command sstatus(errsetTrace t) and then I changed the analysis and ran the sim. The simulation ran successfully though with following errors at the beginning.

    simulation run.

    Those stack trace settings are now just showing errors which are caught - so aren't relevant here.

    I don't know what was causing the original problem, but exiting and restarting appears to have solved it.

    I suggest you restart again to avoid getting all the noise in the CIW, and just use:

    _amsUISimFeatures->spectre_commandline_logstatus=nil
