FreePDK45 usage in Virtuoso

[promach]

I am using FreePDK45 in Virtuoso, but I faced the following error:

Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.

ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 12: The instance `PM' is referencing an undefined model or subcircuit, `pfet'. Either include the file containing the definition of `pfet', or define `pfet' before running the simulation.

ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 16: The instance `NM' is referencing an undefined model or subcircuit, `nfet'. Either include the file containing the definition of `nfet', or define `nfet' before running the simulation.

Following advices at https://www.edaboard.com/threads/cadence-virtuoso-and-mmsim-installation.305420/page-3 does not really help.

Could anyone advise ?

There has to be a declaration of where to pull the
Spectre model chain, from. But I don't recall whether
the FreePDK actually has any models associated,
let alone any foundry "blessed" ones.

In ADE, Setup>Model_Libraries pops a list in which
there should be defined some number of .scs files
(process params, model definitions). It populated
then look to why stuff isn't where you say it is, or
omitted from the list; if not populated, than assemble
the stuff you need for Spectre to run, and tell it where
to find.

It seems that FreePDK does not include any .scs files.

The model libraries had been loaded into ADE_L correctly now, but the same error still persist
