artist cannot generate type for vpwl

[arsenal]

hi,
my cadence is 5.10.41
and there is a vpwl in my schematic, and when i do simulation using
analog artist, it cannot generate the type of the vpwl in the netlist
although there is srcType=pwl in the CDF of vpwl cell,
then what shall do?

thank you

I'd guess that you haven't got CDS_Netlisting_Mode set to Analog. Try:

setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog

if your shell is csh. If it is ksh or bash:

export CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog

or sh:

export CDS_Netlisting_Mode
CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog

before starting DFII. Alternatively, from SKILL you can do:

setShellEnvVar("CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog")
cdsSetNetlistMode()

What you describe is a common symptom of not netlisting in Analog mode (i.e.
using CDF-based netlisting).

Regards,

Andrew.
