Hi
I'm making some code and trying to use genvar but Cadence gives some error back. I suspect what the problem is but I'm not sure. Furthermore I hope someone of you encountered this problem before and has knows a workaround
The code is a little complicated and a there is a lot of stuff in it that isn't important for you guys (and most of it comes out of a scientific paper, so I think i'm not allowed to publish it here), but the basic structure is:
But Cadence (5.1.41) gives me some error:
I've made a test file to check where it could go wrong and I suspect the problem is because of the variable "TrapAmount" in the for declaration. Without using genvar this for declaration doesn't give any errors but when using genvar it does (and when I replace "TrapAmount" by e.g. 6 the errors disappear). Could someone confirm this is true? And second question: Is there a way to use a variable in the declaration of a genvar forloop without problems?

Code:

ground gnd;
[branch declarations]
[some paramter and variable declaration]

[other stuff]

end
end
[more stuff]
