No i don't have schematic or symbol in my library named "mos2".
I have gone through the spectre manual and found that mos2 means BSIM level2 model. From that what i understand is that the netlister is instantiating a BSIM level2 model for the mosfets ( nfet and pfet from cmosp35), where is should create a nch or pch model in the netlist.
The problem started only when i started using the Virtuoso layout editor. I have been using schematic editor for quite some time now but never experienced the problem. When I use "extracted" before "schematic" in the switch view list in the the environment setup dialogue, then the netlist is sometimes created correctly(for extracted shell view). But this doe not happen consistently. Again, when I remove extracted from the switch view list and redo the netlisting, then netlist SOMETIMES gets created correctly (even for the schematic view). But there is no consistency in all this.
Also, exiting the icfb does not help consistently.
