    the voltage source isn't the define of voltage type in my netlist.
    lt's a correct netlist:
    V1(vdd gnd!) vsource dc=3 type=dc
    but in my netlist,the voltage source is definded as follow:
    V1(vdd gnd!) vsource dc=3
    so,if the voltage source is pwl or pulse,the simultion can't be go on.

    how to deal with the problem???

  2. From your rather vague description, my guess is that you've generated the
    netlist from ADE, and the source type is missing. This is most likely to be due
    to the fact that you've not told the netlister it needs to use CDF-based
    netlisting instead of NLP-based netlisting. Do:

    setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog

    before starting DFII, or you can also put:

    setShellEnvVar("CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog")
    cdsSetNetlistMode()

    in your .cdsinit

    If I've guessed the right problem from your description, this should solve it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks to Andrew.
    The problem occured after acrode reader installed, so when I deleted
    the directory ".adobe",
    everything turns right.

  4. That seems an extremely unlikely explanation to me! I can't see why that could
    have anything to do with this.
