Hi, This regarding an error ocean returns after running a script. I am running a part of the ocean script generated by Affirma: Session-> Save Script... shown below ---- simulator( 'spectre ) design( "/net/eceuva.p8/gbr3p/simulation/gbr_vtgreg_folded_cloop/spectre/schematic/netlist/netlist") resultsDir( "/net/eceuva.p8/gbr3p/simulation/gbr_vtgreg_folded_cloop/spectre/schematic" ) modelFile( "/net/sr10/msl/mwsp/ts35/spectre.inc" ) stimulusFile( ?xlate nil "/net/eceuva.p8/gbr3p/simulation/gbr_vtgreg_folded_cloop/spectre/schematic/netlist/_graphical_stimuli.scs") analysis('tran ?stop "1000u" ?ic "all" ?save "all" ?oppoint "screen" ) desVar( "Rcap" 2 ) desVar( "Rout" 0.1 ) desVar( "Rin" 32 ) desVar( "bondwire" 2n ) desVar( "sink_width" 75u ) desVar( "filter_cap" 1000p ) desVar( "vref" "3.3-(Rin+Rout)*(5m)" ) run() ----- when I load this file at the ocean prompt, it returns with the following error: Error found by spectre during circuit read-in. "/net/sr10/msl/mwsp/ts35/spectre.inc" 20: Encountered C-preprocessor (cpp) directive `#'. Use -E command line argument to run cpp. the file it refers to is the modelfile (spectre.inc). Why does spectre return this error even though I feed the same model file while running simulations on the Affirma Analog Circuit Design Environment with the spectre simulator? Does this imply that the script generated by Save Script cannot be directly loaded into ocean? This is one of my initial attempts to understand ocean, so please excuse me if I have committed a silly mistake. Any pointer(s) will very helpful. Thank you. Girish. UVa
