HBAC analysis issue, while simulating a mixer from Cadence examples

apaj

Hello, 

I am having two errors in setting up the HBAC analysis. I am trying to run simulations described in Cadence examples/RFworkshop/docs for a mixer.

HB analysis runs smoothly, but when I try to run the HBAC - I get the following messages:

ERROR (SFE-874): "input.scs" 76: Unexpected identifier "annotate". Expected equals.

ERROR (SFE-678): "input.scs" 76: Statement is not in Spectre format. Use `simulator lang = spice' to introduce spice language sections.

I tried changing the default setting of the Annotate Parameter in ADE->HBAC->Options form, but with no success - the same thing happens. I have set up all the other stuff as shown in Cadence example.

Could you please try to help me out and let me know how to solve these errors?

Thank you for your time.

    Subversion of the IC tools is as follows:

     Virtuoso (R) Front to Back Design Environmnet 5.10.41.500.6.151

    Spectre.out claims the following:

    Version 11.1.0.509.isr14 32bit -- 14 Aug 2012

    Thank you for your time and effort.
