I am trying to run a spectre simulation using a subckt which is defined in a file.
for simplicity, I will define a simple test file:

in a file ckt.scs, the following lines are included which I load into the ADE Setup->Model Library Setup

subckt testcell (1 2 99)
parameters a=5 b=a*6+4
c0 ( 2 99) capacitor c=a
l0 ( 1 2) inductor l=b
ends testcell

the top circuit schematic is simple so the netlist looks like

simulator lang=spectre
global 0
include "/home/user/ckt.scs"

// Cell name: testcell
// View name: schematic
subckt testcell A B SUB
ends testcell
// End of subcircuit definition

// Cell name: ttest
// View name: schematic
I0 (net1 0 0) testcell
V0 (net1 0) vsource mag=1 type=dc
simulatorOptions options .....
dc0p dc write......
...

The schematic for testcell just has ports drawn since the circuit  is defined in the subckt file ckt.scs

The error message that I receive in the simulator output when running is

Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
"input.scs" 14: 'testcell' is being redefined

How can I get this to work if I want to include the subckt definition in the file ckt.scs and without manually changing the input.scs file?

Hello Achim,
Just deleting the schematic view didn't work and the stop view list settings in the environment options would effect the
entire top level schematic.  In using this block "testcell", it would be connected with other symbols blocks with schematics in them.

Achim,
sounds like a solution!
Yes, can u provide me w/an example.
thanks!
