vcPropagateChange

[Kuan Zhou]

Hi,
I am doing extraction now. But I got the error message like:

error: vcPropagateChange failed to update task. Notify Cadence....

Does anyone know what's the problem? I am using Cadence 5.0.
The spectre is v 5.0.0.052603

Kuan,

This looks like PCR 591416, which was fixed in IC446 MSR11 and 5.0.32.500.2.

It is caused by having a calculateParameter() in the rule deck without an
expression - just something like:

calculateParameter(x)

you can workaround it by changing the rules to:

calculateParameter(x*1.0)

Regards,

Andrew.
