It seems you have used Cadence ADE blindly.
We don't have such confusion because we understand how simulation is launched in Cadence ADE.
It is very common that Netlist for simulator is generated because we can't run simulation without it.
The followings are netlists for simulator under Cadence ADE.
spectre : input.scs
hspiceD : input.ckt
ADSsim(RFDE) : input.ckt
GoldenGate : "Analysis_Name".gg, (e.g. DC.gg, AC.gg. SP.gg, TR.gg, CR.gg, SSNA.gg, ET.gg, PLL.gg, etc.)
