abt error in cadence
Oct 26^th, 2008, 10:54pm

Hi,
I just started learning cadence tool.Simulation at transistor level is working fine bt when i am using digital parts from NCSU digital library, i am getting errors while simulating.Error is-- Netlist error:An invalid terminal list has been encountered.. use the convert artist bulk nodes utility through the tools-->conversion.
In NCSU digital parts library i am having following folders--CMOS_SCH,schematic,symbol,symbol#publication,,,I am nt finding any links to technological libraries.
How can i resolve this problem.I hope i will get positive reply.....
Thanks in advance

Which simulator are you using? Are you sure that the library is designed to work with that simulator?

Whoever installed that library (NCSU digital) didn't check it very well. There are a number of things that could go wrong: symbol not matching schematic, archaic syntax, etc. I doubt anyone on the forum will be able to diagnose it from the message alone.

Have you tried the utility that was suggested? You may need to copy the whole digital library to your directory (if it's installed in a read-only location).

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
