ERROR (OSSHNL-524) while using nport

radiowaves

I am using IC6.1.6-64b.500.1 and my simulator version is 10.1.1.296.isr18 64 bit.

When I simulate old circuits (designed in  IC6.13) containing analogLib/nport component  I get this error:

"ERROR (OSSHNL-524): Netlisting failed as function hnlNetNameOnTerm was called with a non-existent terminal name on current instance 'NPORT0' in design

    The problem is resolved when nport is used from the latest library.

    In general I'd recommend defining analogLib in your cds.lib as follows:

    analogLib       $(inst_root_with:tools/dfII/bin/virtuoso)/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/artist/analogLib

    because that way it will pick up analogLib from whichever version of the tools you are using.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I just upgraded my IC to the same 6.1.6 and I have the same problem with netlist when I have nport. I used the complete path to analogLib in my cds.lib but it does not work. Any other solution?

    Are you sure you're really picking up the right analogLib? Check in the library manager - select the analogLib library, and with your cursor over the library name, do Right Mouse Button->Properties and see what the full path you get is.

    Is this a 1-port nport? If so, Article 20088170 describes this issue. (http://support.cadence.com) and also has a fixed analogLib that you can download. Here is the full link to the Article http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:ViewSolution;solutionNumber=20088170

    Thanks Tawna

    Like always you notice the very subtle points.

    Thank you very much.
