    Hi all
    I followed the step in
    http://www.ece.umd.edu/~dilli/research/layout/cadencetutorial/printabletutorial/cadencedemo3.html
    and
    when I try to simulate, they always report the simulation unsucessful.
    I tried it twice and it seems to be I do not have mosfet model api06p
    in my library, it is so weird, please help me out and I appreciate it.
    questions1: where to know the model for your mosfet?
    question2: after you set up your library, can you still change the
    model of your previous posfet? If can, how to?
    question3: how to export the log file into text, I can not copy the
    log file in the icfb-log, so I have to copy the following text line by
    line, is there a way to copy the totally log file into a text file?
    Thanks a lot.
    Here is the log,
