Help: AMS Mixed-signal simulation error reported ERROR (VACOMP-2070)

cadence ic618 + INCISIVE152.+SPECTRE201

When I running AMS,Mixed signal simulation, Error reported as below:

Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
    ERROR (VACOMP-2070):
        "/edatools/INCISIVE152/tools/spectre/etc/ahdl/disciplines.vams", line
        251: Detected unknown type for identifier: F. Check the validity of the
        type.
    ERROR (VACOMP-2070):
        "/edatools/INCISIVE152/tools/spectre/etc/ahdl/disciplines.vams", line
        251: Detected unknown type for identifier: F. Check the validity of the
        type.
    ERROR (SPECTRE-357): AMS Analog Elaboration has exited with error.
        Simulation will terminate.


spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error.
ncsim: *F,RNAERR: The simulator terminated with an analog initialization error.
ncsim: Memory Usage - 35.7M program + 442.5M data = 478.2M total (478.2M Peak)
ncsim: CPU Usage - 0.3s system + 3.7s user = 4.0s total (4.1s, 97.0% cpu)
TOOL:    irun(64)    15.20-p001: Exiting on Apr 11, 2023 at 14:46:13 CST  (total: 00:00:22)

May I ask what the problem is? How to solve it?

    First of all, it doesn't make sense to be using INCISIVE152. That's an obsolete 8-year old version of the digital simulator. You should use a recent XCELIUM version instead.

    The issue here is quite likely (I'm guessing a bit here) to be because you've used the identifier F elsewhere and that's clashing with the attempt to define F as an access function for Force in the disciplines.vams file. It's hard to know without seeing your models - but that's what I'd look for. Perhaps talking to customer support would be a good idea.
