Hi Tracy,
I have tried 2001.x and 2002.x versions of Hspice, and due to license
issue I couldn't get 2003.x to work.
I have attached in .sp file in this email.
Thanks for your help,
Bowen

Hi Bowen,
What version of HSPICE are you using? Is it possible to send me your
netlist as an attachment? There's a bunch of special characters that
came
through in the email.
You can use 'mil' or 'mm' in your field solver dimensions so that you
don't
have to write the dimensions as expressions to convert them from meters
(default).

Subject: [SI-LIST] Hspice Fieldsolver Question
Hi,
I got an error "Singular MOM Matrix" when running Hspice fieldsolver,
the source code is at below.
I found that if I change trace width(W_MB) from 6 to 4 mils, it would
work.
Looking for inputs on causes for this error and work around.
Thanks a lot,
Bowen
