spectre simulation error - "input.scs": unable to

Simulation error

Hi all...I finished my layout, LVS, and PEX in my research project circuit design but i m in stacked in spectre simulation...i showed the model library path..1)finger cap and 2) resistor what i have used in my circuit. but once i simulate in ac analysis then showing "input.scs": unable to open.
could u tell me anyone...what should i do??i want to simulate in my design...please help me if you r kind enough...Jasim

Re: Simulation error

"input.scs": unable to open.

input.scs is generated automatically after you have finished the ADE Setup, Analyses, Variables, Outputs and Simulation -> Netlist menu points. It contains the simulator directions. Usually to be found in your ~/simulation/project/schematic/netlist/ directory. You must have write access, of course.

Re: Simulation error

Hello Brother,
What you said.."ADE Setup, Analyses, Variables, Outputs and Simulation" dis all i did..and lastly i did "netlist&Run". But still i got fatal error "input.scs: unable to open..xxx.scs"

Actually i design a circuit which has been used capacitor and resistor. In simulation time, I showed model libraries "finger cap" and "resistor" model. But still..cannot run..showing fatal error with "input.scs" unable to open...
For testing..i also tried using a simple circuit inverter design simulation. Dis also cannot simulation...showing the same error...input.scs:unable to open..

Please help me....!!!

fatal error "input.scs: unable to open..xxx.scs"

Seems your Model Library Setup is wrong: Hit Setup -> Model Libraries ... The spectre: Model Library Setup window shows up.
Herein you need the full path to your model file(s) (.scs)

Re: Simulation error

Hi

I actually encountered the same problem the other day when trying to simulate post layout.

What I did, was to delete the cell view (made backup first), and made a new cell view with config file and copied back the schematic. This solved the problem for me. Just make sure you import the netlist aswell..

Hope it helps

Re: Simulation error

just guess... did you try to check the access right for your simulation folder? is it writable?
