    I am using cadence virtuoso custom ic design v6.1.2.

    When I try to do simulation, it gives me error as:

    "Unable to locate'spectre' executable in the specified path. To set
    the
    correct path, use setShellEnvVar() in CIW."

    Is there anything related to set the MMSIM?

    Yes I think so !
    spectre comes with the MMSIM stream indeed. the spectre executable is
    no longer supported in the IC61 tree.
    I would advice to ask your PDK or CAD flow engineer to update your PDK/
    UNIX settings so your PATH env variable includes the MMSIM stream by
    default.
    something like:

    # in bourne shell
    MMSIMHOME="MY_MMSIM_INSTALL_PATH"
    export MMSIMHOME
    PATH="$MMSIMHOME/tools/bin:$PATH"
    export PATH

    # or in C-shell
    setenv MMSIMHOME MY_MMSIM_INSTALL_PATH
    setenv PATH $MMSIMHOME/tools/bin:$PATH

    Cheers,
    Riad.
