Spectre error: Illegal library definition found in netlist

[naalald]

Dear All,
When I want to start simulation with spectre the error says:
Fatal error: Illegal library definition found in netlist
I set the model file correctly, but I don't know why it errors!
Thanks.

Re: Error using spectre

Hi,

This error occurs most likely because your spectre model file contains many sections. You need to tell to spectre which section it has to include.
I guess your netlist contains :
include "<YOUR_MODEL_PATH>/spectreModelFile.scs"
but it should be like
include "<YOUR_MODEL_PATH>/spectreModelFile.scs" section=TYP
if you want to simulate the TYP corner (or typical, SLOW, FAST ....)

If your using the ADE GUI to make you netlist, then go to:
ADE -> Setup -> Model Libraries.
Click or select the model you want to include and fill the 'section (opt)' field to choose which section you want to include.

Cheers ;-)
Riad.
