Problem with ORCAD Capture 16

scdr
scdr over 17 years ago

Version of ORCAD is 16.

I try to realize example from Tools\Capture\Tutorial\CAPTUTOR.EXE. "Processing Your Design" . Project name is DCLOCK.obj

When I run Tools/Board Simulation This message appear.

**********************************************************************************************************************

Error: Failed to invoke "ncvhdl -cdslib C:\Orcad Projects\Indesign\cds.lib -hdlvar C:\Orcad Projects\Indesign\hdl.var -Append_log -logfile C:\Orcad Projects\Indesign\Detail.log -message -v93 C:\Orcad Projects\Indesign\stubI.vhd" as a child process.

Can not find this file. Process cancelled by user or Errors/Warnings encountered. ************************************************************************************************************************

Such error is with my own model of multiplexer.

How can I simulate with no errors?

Need I to reinstall ORCAD?

    My guess would be that you do not "ncvhdl" installed. The logic language, VHDL and Verilog, simulators have not been supported, or updated, on the Windows platform for some while now. There used to be an NCVHDL Desktop version for Windows installations but the Incisive tools have been "UNIX only" for some years. You could probably create an EDIF netlist on Windows and then simulate on UNIX but this won't work directly from the Capture menu.
