Hello everyone,
Recently I am using Cadence Spectre(Version 16.1.0.387.isr6 32bit) to simulate a netlist in command line. However, I met the error when reading the library model file:
Reading file: /home/grads/z/zhanxin/PowerDeliveryNetwork/IBM_90nm_models/IBM_PDK/cmos9sf/V2.2.0.1IBM/Spectre/models/design.scs
Fatal error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
FATAL (SFE-867): Unable to open the file `/home/grads/z/zhanxin/PowerDeliveryNetwork/IBM_90nm_models/IBM_PDK/cmos9sf/V2.2.0.1IBM/Spectre/models/design.scs'.
That circuit library file (design.scs) could be accessed via vim, so this excludes the possibility of path error. Also, I have tested it on an old server with Spectre version 15.1.0.602.isr11-32bit installed and the simulation performs normally. Is there anyone having experiences about how to solve it with the new version Spectre?
Thanks a lot!
Xin
