Hello. I have recently purchased the license of cadence tools and we have installed tools and configure license file successfully. While running the simulation for a simple CMOS inverter i get the following error. There is no error in the designing part. however, while simulating I get the following error on the virtuoso log window.
For more details, consult the job log file:
/mnt/cadence_tools/logs_root/logs0/Job4.log
ERROR (ADEXL-5031): While simulating run Interactive.2, point 1, test Projects:CMOSINVERTER_TB:1, received error:
Simulation Error:
------------------------------
Simulator failed to complete the simulation.
The simulator process returned a non-zero exit code, indicating failure.
The simulator could have crashed or intentionally returned to indicate an error.
Check the simulator log file for more information. Common causes:
1. Simulator may have crashed during exit even after reporting success in log file.
2. Abrupt automatic simulator termination (e.g., SIGKILL) because the simulator process has
exceeded resource limits, which can be specified in the distribution system or
by the kernel itself (e.g., the Linux OOMKiller).
3. Manual termination of the simulator process.
./runSimulation can be manually run in this directory to check the issue.
I looked through the path "/mnt/cadence_tools/logs_root/logs0/Job4.log" and it showed the following errors
ERROR (ADE-5704): Variable 'options faultanalysis' is either not declared or does not exist
for analysis 'tran'.

...successful.

ERROR (ADE-3036): Errors encountered during simulation. The simulator run log has not been generated.
Possible cause could be an invalid command line option for the version of the simulator
you are running. Choose Setup->Environment and verify that the command line options
specified in the userCmdLineOption field are supported for the simulator.
Alternatively, run the simulator standalone using the runSimulation file in the netlist
directory to know the exact cause of the error.
INFO (ADEXL-1654): Simulator 'spectre' doesn't provide simulation failure
information at the analysis level. So 'SkipFailedAnalyses' for option
'evalOutputsOnSimFailure' wouldn't work for this simulator.
Kindly if someone could help me rectify this problem, i will be grateful
