Running simulation using assura extracted view

    Hello, everyone

    I used Assura RCX to get the avExtracted view for one block. Then I
    used it in the config view of the toplevel test circuit. When I tried
    to run simulation using Spectre, some of the nets have no DC path. I
    created the netlist using the Affirma. In the netlist, I looked into
    that block and found that the port list using the lower case, but the
    netlist using upper case, as following. I wonder if that is the cause:

    subckt Rvalue_test (in out sub)
    R0_1__rcx (_net0 _net1) nl r=84.8684 l=6.45 w=1.9
    R0_2 (IN _net2) nl r=84.8684 l=6.45 w=1.9
    R1_1 (OUT _net2) nl r=84.8684 l=6.45 w=1.9
    ......

    What may be the cause of this problem? Is that the problem with RCX
    when creating the avExtracted view? Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    You could have floating metal in the layout. If you did, it would
    have a cap to ground and no DC path. Please check each net that had
    no DC path to ground in the layout and make sure they are not
    floating.

    If you suspect a termOrder issue, try the following:
    1. open the schematic
    2. artGenerateHierSymbolCDF(geGetWindowCellView())
