I would like to run an AC sweep for a very simple circuit (Please see the attached file). Unfortunately the following errors occurred:

L_L2 N04540 0 .10976mH

R_R3 N04968 N02907 10.7849 TC=0,0

C_C6 N04540 N04968 7.6091u TC=0,0

C_C5 0 N02907 .64335u TC=0,0

I_I1 N04863 0 DC 0Adc AC 1Aac

L_L3 N04858 N02907 1.989m

L_L4 N04863 N04858 3.933m

C_C7 0 N04858 1.099u TC=0,0

**** RESUMING test.cir ****
.END

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node N04968 is floating

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node N02907 is floating

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node N04863 is floating

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node N04858 is floating

Although I have checked the circuit several times in order to resolve the problem, I have not succeeded. Does anyone know how to solve it?

SPICE performs a DC operation point analysis previous to AC analysis. The said nodes have no DC path to ground and thus cause an error in DC analysis.

Solution: Add a high resistance (e.g. 1G, can be even more) from one of the floating nodes to ground.
 

All the nodes to going to ground have capacitor in path, leaving no path for DC current to ground.
As FvM said, you need to add high resistance like {1/GMIN} which equals 1000 Gohm, from one of the nodes to ground, for successful operating point calculation.
