Well, just got an answer for my own question. This is from Mentor technical support: Add the following option in quad.gcf file: ALLOW_PIN_OVERLAPS = TRUE "isf2xtk" proceed with some errors related to stuffed option, but it is a progress compared with previous simulation when isf2xtk just stopped. Will check out the xtk files.
