I am using the Virtuoso File-Import-Spice to import a spice file as a schematic cellview. I have included the necessary device mapping, and the "resistor" is mapped to "res" correctly. However, SpiceIn shows that it cannot find the analogLib.res:symbol. Here are the SpiceIn log headers and the error:

ERROR (SPICEIN-24): Spice In did not find the symbol view of the master cell 'resistor' of the instance
'R_Is' in the subcircuit 'LLG'. Specify the reference library that has the symbol
view of the master cell, or use device-mapping to map 'resistor' to a different cell.
Some device mapping file examples for commonly used components while importing
a spice netlist include:
devselect := resistor res
devselect := capacitor cap
devselect := inductor ind
devselect := mutual_inductor mind
Search 'SPICEIN-24' in Cadence Help for more information.
I am confused because the analogLib.res:symbol is there, as the following screenshot shows. The tested .sp file is the MTJ SPICE model from University of Minnesota: http://cspin.umn.edu/resources/mtj_spice.html Please help me to figure out how to import the MTJ model correctly. Thank you.
