Sivakumar,
it is not a license problem, but something with your database. Did isf2xtk
and xfx run without any errors (especially isf2xtk, check the qif2xtk.log
file for the 'ERROR' statement)? Some hints:
1) simulate the design without crosstalk or simulation models. Start with
tmp. Use only a default bi-directional model (which has no errors > simple
model) to simulate the design. Use the INCLUDE_PIN_TYPE in the gcf file to
include the model in your search criteria. If you want you can run xns in a
'syntax check only' mode. Options > default > syntax check only in xns.
2) add your simulation models and re-run the design, again without crosstalk
3) simulate with crosstalk and all simulation models.
4) you are using the Nt version. There is also a ported Unix version,
running on a korn shell. Try to analyse the design with that version. Most
likely you will get a bunch of errors, but it will not crash like the Nt
version. Check the log file to find the net which gives you problems.
5) Perform a clean-up of your Pcb database. Sometimes the dbase contains
small pieces of redundant traces. Not a problem for manufacturing, but most
toolings can't deal with that.
6) run isf2xtk with the -o (off grid) option. But I have never seen that
causing a backend process died...

Subject: [SI-LIST] XTK error
Hi Gurus,
I am doing SI simulation using XTK. When i run/start the analysis
it gives the following error.
"Back end process death
The backend process died, further operations no
longer possible"
After building design data base, whenever i start the batch analysis or
current list analysis, i am getting this error. It was running properly till
yesterday night.Suddenly this problem came and i couldn't run the tool.
I want to know whether this is due to any model related issue or
the license error.
Could anybody suggest me any idea to solve this issue?
thanks and regards,
Sivakumar.S
