if your cct has transistors tou can check if you install PDK in right way or not

Re: help with cadence

I know why it is ...If i am right the slownessis only for the first time after u start ur icfb.
This is because cadence framw work doesnot load everything when it starts. It loda sonly the default things as and when required it loads the reqd things.

If u r working on fast machines with heavy RAM then you may not notice the slowness, because the time it takes is veryisignificant. But if u open on ur local machine then u will see the issue of slowness.

Thanks

Re: help with cadence

the processor is 1.86GHz, and RAM is 512M
however I think to open the simulator it shouldn't take that much time(few minutes!!?)
