FATAL (CMI-2010) in transient simulation

GuanghuaShu

My spectre version is: Version 15.1.0.644.isr13 64bit -- 22 Oct 2016

Error information as following:

Internal error found in spectre at time = 35.7142 ps during transient analysis `tran'.
Encountered a critical error during simulation. Submit a Service Request via Cadence Online Support, including the netlist, the Spectre log file, the behavioral model files, and any other information that can help identify the problem.
FATAL (CMI-2010): Assertion failed in file `waves.c' at line 12549.
FATAL (SPECTRE-21): Assertion failed.

It is related to the block "shifter_combiner" in the rfLib, and the simulation could run after I remove this block. But I have to use this block for simulation.

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

    Hi GuanghuaShu,

    When spectre fails with "Assertion Error", something bad has happened and the simulator cannot recover. You need to contact Customer Support (support.cadence.com) and file a Case. Please include your testcase. I searched our records here, but found no similar issues with the shifter_combiner.

    best regards,
    Tawna
