Ray, ... do you mean GMINDC? Todd.

This will make Hspice happy by creating a DC path and not effect the results of your simulation. I _think_ there is some option you can specify in Hspice to make this happen automatically, but don't have the details handy at the moment. -Ray > > SI-list, > > I am using Star-HSPICE to simulate a very simple circuit, but I got an error > message "no dc path to ground from node 0:3 ".
