simulate examples in designer's guide to verilogAMS

[dan_vol]

After reading the chapter 3 and chapter 4 in this excellent book, I want to simulate some examples. However, I can't make them work on my computer . For example, the VCO in chapter 3,
(1) I make a new cellview with verilogAmsText type, then fill it with the VCO code and make a symbol.
(2) After that, build a testbench in schematic, just connect a vdc to the input of VCO.
(3) Then config, vdc with spectre; vco with verilogams; testbench with schematic;
(4) simulate in ADE with config view with tran response . choose ams simulator and OSS run option.

Then, irun err as following:

ncelab: *E,CUVDNF (./netlist.vams,23|28): Could not determine discipline for this expression .
vsource #(.dc(500.0m), .type("dc")) V0 (net1, cds_globals.\gnd! );

Could I attach vdc to the input? If not, how to test the vco or other examples then?

Thanks.

Regards.
Daniel

What's more, I found the sourcecode of the example in The Designer's Guide Community - The Designers Guide to Verilog-AMS.
Listing 22. sinusoidal voltage-controlled oscillator
Surprise. Five files included. How can I use them?
If just run run-me in terminal, it would say" can't find the file or directory..."

The vco problem has been solved, just due to the stop list in the configuration. Symbol or verilogams should be chosen , not spectre. But the resisitor one still can't run. with the error message.

Fatal error found by spectre in `worklib+test_res+vams+0x10000001', during
circuit read-in.
"/home/daniel/simulation/test_res/ams/config/netlist/netlist.vams" 22:
`I3': An instance of `resistor', port name `m' not found.
"/home/daniel/simulation/test_res/ams/config/netlist/netlist.vams" 22:
`I3': An instance of `resistor', port name `n' not found.

I am sure the name of cellview is the same as the one in the verilogams text. Both are resistor. And I just change the name of the port to m and n.
