Thanks for the explanation. Can I "create" this shadow database with SKILL so that the netlister will not complain? It doesn't have to make sense because my netlisting function does two things: 1) it writes an "include" statement pointing to an extracted netlist which defines mycell_2 entirely 2) it instantiates mycell_2 by writing the proper connections, including the supplies the point of this step is that our designers do not want to have the whole definition of mycell_2 inside the netlist of mycell_1 and they do not want to use av_extracted views. Today, for unknown reasons, I get a different error message (well... more than one) stating ERROR (OSSHNL-913): Netlisting failed because terminal 'abc' of instance 'I1' in cellview 'mylib/mycell_1/schematic' does not exist in switch master 'mylib/mycell_2/netlist3' If I set simCheckTermMismatchAction to "ignore" before making the netlist then everything works as expected, but this seems a dangerous thing to do Best regards, Patrik
