    Dear all,
    I was trying to run a simple simulation in cadence Spectre. I got the
    following error. Any idea what it could mean?.
    /***********************
    *Error* Errors encountered during simulation. The simulator run log
    has not been generated.
    Possible cause could be an invalid command line option for the version
    of the simulator
    specified in the userCmdLineOption field are supported for the
    simulator.
    Alternatively, run the simulator standalone using the runSimulation
    file in the netlist
    directory to know the exact cause of the error.
    /***********************
    Since I'm new to schematic, I'm not sure about the error. I also tried
    running the netlist as said in the error message, but it didn't work(I
    tried simulating both 'input.scs' and 'runSimualtion' file ).

    The following is the error message i got when i tried to run the
    simulation in the netlist directory
    /**************************
    /cad/tools/cadencetools/mmsim_6_1/tools/bin/spectre: line 180: 8906
    Killed /cad/tools/cadencetools/mmsim_6_1/tools.lnx86/
    spectre/bin/spectre input.scs

    Thanks and regards,
    Lokesh

    It's most likely a problem with missing shared libraries.

    Also, that is a rather old (and unsupported) version of MMSIM (assuming it
    really is MMSIM61).

    If you just run "./runSimulation" what is the error?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,
    Thanks for your reply. I got the following error when I ran "./
    runSimulation"
    /cad/tools/cadencetools/mmsim_6_1/tools/bin/spectre: line 180: 25855
    Killed /cad/tools/cadencetools/mmsim_6_1/tools.lnx86/

    +inter=mpsc +mpssession=spectre0_8503_2 -format sst2 -raw ../psf
    +lqtimeout 900 -maxw 5 -maxn 5 input.scs

    Odd. Try typing (without line wrapping - so all on one line):

    /cad/tools/cadencetools/mmsim_6_1/tools.lnx86/spectre/bin/spectre -env
    artist5.1.0 +escchars +log ../psf/spectre.out -format sst2 -raw ../psf
    +lqtimeout 900 -maxw 5 -maxn 5 input.scs

    And see what it says.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
