Spectre error

Hi,

I am just starting to gain experience on cadence tools. I am trying to
do a simulation using analog environment. This is a simple flip flop
written in verilog. I have imported that to schematic and then using
spectreverilog in analog enviroment. I am getting the following error
when I netlist and run the simulation...Can anyone guide me in the
right direction..

Thanks a lot

Regs,
Saran

Can you share that part of the netlist?

It's virtually impossible to tell without seeing more detail. Nothing
in your description gives any clue as to why this should happen,
because you don't appear to be doing anything out of the ordinary.

Regards,

Andrew.

Thanks once again...
I am virutally stuck here..Not getting myself moving in the proper
direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I figured out the problem...Thanks.

Basically in the schematic, in the mixed signal menu, two interface
elements of the library were not specified. I had to specify them to
get it working. Everything works fine now. Thanks a lot for taking
time to suggest solutions to this problem.
