Title: Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
Post by rajks1982 on Nov 2^nd, 2006, 11:13pm

Hello analog design lovers,

Am trying to simulate an inductor circuit. I get this error message while doing so. Any idea why this is happening.

"
Simulating `raw/inductor' on mercury at 11:08:34 PM, Thur Nov 2, 2006.

Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
raw/inductor: xl is an instance of an undefined model ind.

spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error. "

You have not assigned a model to your inductor.
Look in the properties for the instance if you can find
a field called 'model' you have to fill this out
with the appropriate model name.

My information was wrong.
Correction, this error appears if the model is set,
but you have not assigned a model library where the
simulator can find the model.

If you have a valid inductor model, set this in
the Analog Design Environment under
"Setup -> Model Libraries..."
or use the spectre build in "inductor".

Thanks Bernd for a quick response. Am sure that I have the right model path and it is included. Am assuming that it is unable to read those models. I get the same message when I use appropriate models for both spectre ans spectreS. Do I have to also include the file extension? My spectreS models have no extension but the spectre models have a .scs extension. Is this any problem?
