Viewing Global Errors in SE

Global errors are not associated with a particular net or instance. The View Global Error command in the Simulation menu displays global errors (global.err) found during netlisting or simulation with interfaces that support this feature. The Show Outputs – Show Global Error command is enabled only after you have used the Initialize command to initialize the simulation environment.

To display global errors (global.err) found during netlisting or simulation:

1. Choose Simulation – Show Outputs – View Global Error.
   A window appears showing the error messages generated by the flat netlister or by your analysis tool. If no error file exists, a dialog box informs you that there were no global errors.
   You can see global errors generated by the simulator only if you use Cadence SILOS II.
2. Close the window by choosing File – Close Window.
