.cdsenv aulvs

Hi all,
I use IC 5.1.41. I have just run LVS but I met some errors. Cadence created netlists for schematic and extracted but LVS can't read these netlist. This is my log file:

Running simulation in directory: "/root/analog/LVS".

Begin netlist at: Nov 15 22:48:01 2006

library name = "Layout-PLL"
cell name = "test3"
view name = "schematic"
globals lib = "basic"

si: Comparison did not complete without errors.


Comparison program did not complete. Check the log.

And my netlist :

No element format property found for element /+1
No element format property found for element /+0

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?.
Thank you very much for your help.
 

spiral inductor lvs

Most probably the error is with the generated netlist itself, you need to make a proper netlist from schematic (with out any error ) for having successful LVS, The possible error can be in the layout where the device is not properly drawn so as to be extracted for its properties.
 

moscap netlist

I have just checked schematic and layout but there is not error. So can anyone help me to solve this problem step to step?
Thanks.
 

cannot run lvs

Try to set the environment variable 'CDS_Netlisting_Mode' to 'Analog' before starting Cadence

% setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog
 

cadence lvs no element

Thanks, now there is not error for the cell in gpdk but there is still error for the cell in other library. I use spiral inductor in passiveLib (in rfsamples) but I only use its symbol on schematic I cannot use its layout in layout. So when I run LVS I meet error. Cadence cannot see layout and symbol of spiral inductor, and I meet the same error as for the mos:

" *WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown)
*WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown)
*WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown)
*WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown)
*WARNING* invalid cell view -- 0(unknown)
global error:
Cannot find switch master cell for instance I17 in cellView (PLL schematic) from viewlist 'lvs schematic gate_sch cmos_sch ' in library 'pll'.

Can anyone give me some idea about this error? I think I have to use layout of the spiral inductor to synchronize the schematic and the layout to solve this error. Can anyone help me ?
Thank you very much for your help
 

cadence lvs no element format

Can anyone show me how to use spiral inductor's layout?
Thank you very much.
 

Have anyone ever used layout of spiral inductor? Can anyone help me to solve this problem? I need to use it layout for my report.
Thank you very much.
