I am using cadence virtuoso and spectre to simulate a complicated circuit I am building. I am trying to set up my stimulus properly so I wrote this .scs file. I am having trouble getting the piecewise linear function working. Can anyone please provide me with some help? I am very new to the tool set. I appreciate the assistance.
Code: 
Error found by spectre during hierarchy flattening.

I guess if you use algebraic expressions, you should enclose them by (round brackets).
 

Thanks so much, that was exactly my issue. I appreciate it!
