Currently I have a simulation issue with Cadence Spectre. The circuitry is very simple, it's just a analog biasing network. However, the Spectre fails to run the DC simulation and can't even get the netlist due to several following errors.  Did anyone encounter such issue? Thanks.

warm regards,
Mikay

Thanks sheldon, the netlist can't be generated due to the same error. I just don't know how to fix this error and what the error exactly means. Sometimes the netlist can't be generated because the circuis is not "check and save". This time I'm stuck by this error and can't go on further.
