    Hi,


    I get the following error in cadence icfb when I create netlist and
    simulate any new circuit drawn

    Analog design environment-->simulation-->netlist and run


    Delete psf data in /export/home/mvs/mvs010/cadence/simulation/activeloadinverter/spectre/schematic/psf.
    generate netlist...
    Loading seCore.cxt
    Initializing the control file using cp:
    cp /cadence/cadman/ic446/tools.sun4v/dfII/etc/si/control.spectre
    /export/home/mvs/mvs010/cadence/simulation/activeloadinverter/spectre/schematic/netlist/control
    Copying Spectre source file 'spectre.inp'

    so It doesnot allow me to simulate new circuit.
    But I am able to simulate old circuits that are already simulated.

    Please help me to rectify this error.

    with regards,

    The problem is Directory, to which simulator creates files, is given a
    read permission instead of read write ...permission.

    I changed its permission to read write etc

    it worked well

    or instead change simualtor settings in analog design environment to
    store on a different directory.
