Spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error.
Oct 23rd, 2004, 11:04pm
 
Hi,

I am getting this error. I dont know how to rectify it.
Fatal error found by spectre at time 31ns during transient analysis
Write error on psf file :error detected in psf library  while writing to file tran.tran .Analysis tran terminated prematurely due to fatal error.
I had designed a transistor level schematic of a four bit quantizer. The transient analysis worked properly a week back. I added some more schematics in my library and tried running this four bit quantizer.
The simulation stopped after running for 31ns.
I would be grateful to anyone who could help me solve this problem.
Thanks

Vivek

This should be file I/O error for tran.tran.
The error may be due to the insufficient disk space or the network problem while writing tran.tran.

Please check your disk space. If you use remoted disk for writing, please check your network.

Or you may be using an old version before the fix to allow results files bigger than 2Gbytes. This was fixed a few years ago (I think in an IC445 or IC446 hotfix from memory). When you hit 2Gbytes in your PSF output data, it splits into multiple files (they show up as hidden (i.e. dot files) in the psf output
directory).

Regards,

Andrew.
