[question] A problem when using spectre to simulate

[xxgeneral]

Get into the AE, I simulated a very simple circuit, confronting with these problems,
as follows. Can anybody help me? Appreciate you and thanks very much!

One possibility is (duh) real syntax errors but these are
so pervasive, it may be a dialect problem. Like you
used a SPICE syntax model in spectre without the
simulator lang = telling it so.
