ajeya

I have a good netlist from OrCAD Capture CIS, that I import using . Import > Netlist > Import Logic Type "Design Entry CIS(Capture), Place Changed Component "Always" > Import Cadence

which yields 

#1   ERROR(24) File not found
     Packager files not found

#2   ERROR(102) Run stopped because errors were detected

netrev run on Aug 28 17:59:59 2017

Any hint on what error 24 is ?

    Error 24 is "Packager files not found", if you look earlier in the log file contents, you should seethe "import" directory, that is where the three dat files, pstchip.dat, pstxprt.dat and pstxnet.dat, need to exist. It's quite possible that the netlist failed to be generated from Capture, you would need to check the Capture Session Log for messages about that.
