Simulation with bbspice file or spectre file created from touchstone/citi file

Hi Community,

Am I mistaken if I assume that Virtuoso doesn't allow you to directly use a already present bbspice file in the simulation? 

I know that a rfm file is accepted, we just need to choose "rfm" as the data format in the nport form. Is there no possibility to directly use a bbspice file in this way? 

Before you ask why I am not letting cadence generate the bbspice file for me, let me answer that question. The conversion seems to take really long when done in spectre. With ADS it is generated really fast.

Another question related to this, is the S-parameter data format "spectre" not supported as well? I can generate both a bbspice and a spectre file in ADS from an existing citifile. Can I not use this spectre file directly with the nport? At least the possibility seems to be present. But when I tried to do that, I am getting the following error.



The scs file looks ok to me. Here is a snippet : 


Any suggestions on what is going wrong here?

Regards,

Amit
