Hi,
I have candence allegro for linux. I would like to use it for mixed-signal simulation before the PCB Design but I am finding same problems to do it.
I have executed two different test:
1. Run AMS Simulator from Cadence Allegro Design Entry HDL (ConceptHDL).
2. Ruun AMS Simulator from installation directory.

When I am running the PSpice Simulation from ConceptHDL by AMS Simulator->Enable PSpice Simulator, a pop up windows appear with this error message: DEHDL AMS Flow Cannot be enabled as AMS Installation not found.

When I am running the advanced pspice simulator from the installation directory, in the terminal I capture this error message:

$ ./pspiceaa.exe
./pspiceaa.exe: error while loading shared libraries: liborevalexpr.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I ask which is the libraries that the operative system don't find, I see this message:

$ ldd pspiceaa.exe|grep "not found"
liborevalexpr.so => not found
liborasimdata.so => not found
liborevalexpr.so => not found
liborasimdata.so => not found
liborevalexpr.so => not found
liborasimdata.so => not found

Can you help me?
 

PSpice/AMS Simulation is not supported on Linux. You should try this on Windows.
 

It is correct, but Cadence include in the linux distribution of Allegro a package called MainWin.
It is a windows apis emulator for linux.
MainWin has a folder with some libraries but I can't find part of the libraries that Pspice have to use i.e. liborevalexpr.so and liborasimdata.so
 
yes, Cadence uses Mainwin to port Windows based application like Allegro/DEHDL on linux and other unix ports. However AMS Simulator or PSpice is not yet ported on Linux. Hope this clarifies.
 

ok, thanks so much.
It is correct, but i don't understand becouse there aren't inlcuded the two mainwin libraries in the package when the windows application invokes this and why the model editor run normally under linux. The porting is working in progress? It is not good.
There are other tools or specific functionalities that are windows only in addition at PSpice, Capture and Allegro/DEHDL?
 

There is an alternative simulator at AMS Simulator/PSpice that I can use in Linux with cadence allegro design entry HDL?....Spectre or other?
