spectre can also read HSPICE/SPICE netlists natively these days (since MMSIM60 by default, or IC5141 with the +csfe command line switch). So there usually is no need to convert the syntax to spectre syntax.

Best Regards,

Andrew.

Hi,thanks for the spp command.But in the Hspice file i have some equations,making the parameters updated automatically.These equations are unable to converted to spectre. It is saying a fatal error at that line of equation.
Hspice file is working pretty fine in the simulations.Please tell me how to proceed...

As I said before, you should be able to use the HSPICE syntax files directly in spectre these days (see my previous post in this thread). Did you try that?

Regards,

Andrew.
