Is that ok? > Question#2 : I'm on the fulladder part now. I have created the fulladder.vst file as instructed. I get an error (mbk error) when testing the structural description; as in using the instruction: "asimut -c fulladder". The error is regarding the o2_y component in the description. Here is the output. Pls review my path settings pasted below. Are they correct.The error-output comes after. > bash-2.02$ set mbk_in_lo vst > bash-2.02$ set mbk_out_lo vst > bash-2.02$ set mbk_in_ph ap > bash-2.02$ set mbk_out_ph ap > bash-2.02$ set mbk_cata_lib=.:$alliance_top/cells/sclib I think you didn't set properly the Alliance environement variables. all those variables should be in uppercase letters ... and you forgot set MBK_CATAL_NAME CATAL.
