"SpectreRF user manual".
I just reviewed this document regarding simulating low noise amplifiers, if you follow the instructions carefully you should not encounter any errors. Disregard my previous comment about CDS_rfExamples, I did not know its purpose before. Your .cshrc should include the following
setenv CDS_rfExamples ‘cds_root icms‘
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog"
setenv MMSIMHOME <path_to_MMSIM_simulators>
setenv CDSHOME <path_to_IC_simulators>
setenv path = ( $MMSIMHOME/tools/bin $MMSIMHOME/tools/dfII/bin $CDSHOME/tools/bin $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/bin $CDSHOME/tools/java $CDSHOME/tools/java/bin $path )
Assume you are in a fresh directory for running icfb and you didn't modify any cds.lib or copy the rfExamples folder. Type these commands in the folder
cp -rf $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/samples/artist/rfExamples ./
echo DEFINE my_rfExamples $PWD/rfExamples >> cds.lib
After launching icfb and loading lnaSimple schematic and invoking ADE, go to Setup>Simulator/directory/host and set the project directory to a location which you have write permission for. If holding onto results is not important, you can use /tmp. Go to Setup>Model Libraries and add <CDSHOME>/tools/dfII/samples/artist/models/spectre/rfModels.scs as the model file. <CDSHOME> is replaced with the value of $CDSHOME. Proceed with simulation as specified in users guide.
