Importing Structural VHDL into Cadence 4.4.6

[Marcus Schaemann]

Hello,

I want to import my VHDL design (see below) into Cadence.
Synthesis with Synopsys Design Compiler creates a structural VHDL
description.
I don't have much experience with Cadence, but I have Cadence libraries
with schematics and layout for the cell IN1, so I think I should be able

to import the structural VHDL into cadence. But vhdlin returns:

duluth: *E,1024: intermediate file path
/usr/local/cadence-ic446/tools/leapfrog/files/STD.ship/standard for
package STD.STANDARD (AST) does not exist.

I think I got a problem with the environment setting for the standard
package.
Questions:

- Does anybody has a hint for me where to find the right package
in the cadence installation or in the technology libraries?
- How must I modify my cds.lib or vhdl code?
- Anybody got more information about the Europractice Design Flow?

Thanks,

Marcus
