a strange problem about assura RCX extraction

nmos2vdnw

Good afternoon:
I have met a problem in the process of running assura RCX extraction. that is shown in the following. Could you help me to solve it?Thanks!

assura rcx some library models do not exist

Assura told you exactly what is missing: It cannot find the layout XL software, nor the model library.

hi, i too face the same problem in umc90nm technology, can anyone help me in this issue?:

This looks older post - but not having right solution:

Transistor level RCX, the input data source is LVS db. This is used to backannotate.
If you are trying to create av_extracted view - run LVS with DFII schematic & Layout not CDL & GDS.
For CDL GDS flow, create SPICE, Spectre, xDSPF, xSPEF netlist only, as an output from RCX.

Check if you are on dfII schematic flow or CDL schematic flow - I believe you have run using CDL during LVS.
The reason I am asking this - this seems the device name with two uppercase chars like age old DRACULA & CDL netlisting..
If you are on DFII schematic, and intend to use av_extracted do rerun LVS -perhaps with appropriate switch, and appropriate bind.dfII etc..
I also recommend rerunning capgen compilation, create new RCXtechfile, once again using .xcn file from inside LVS-rudir, and copy it over the lvsfile in techdir, before you run capgen -C.

Back in 0.25um days they used to keep CDL/GDS as baseline flow default.
Check out, there might be something like "PDK_SCHEMATIC" or "DFII_SCH" switch which you need to select.
also in bindfile section you perhaps need to have dfII.bind, or auLvs.bind as LVS device bindingfile, check inside the assura_tech dir that contains extract.rul etc.. [assura_tech.lib file would have pointer to which dir you should start looking for ]

Hope this helps.

This is an old post, but just in case anyone may need a solution for Cadence QRC extracted_view generation, here it is.

by default, when QRC generates an extraced_view for every extractDevice command in the rule file, it will expect to find
a library model, even if it is not used in the current design. You want to turn off this checking.

GUI: After enabling Extract View in the Setup Tab, a checkbox for Enable Cellview Check is exposed. TURN THIS OFF.

Batch: in the ccl command file, -output_db -enable_cellview_check false

Hi, I am having a similar problem i guess, can anyone help me with this please
I am suggested to upgrade my licence to Assura 4.1, but i want to know if there is a fix i can do without upgrading my licence

Error file i am getting is this:

IMHO, it is entirely different problem.
You have problem related to gdm [generic design management] software - go cont your CAD team.
