    Hi Artur,

    this sounds like a environment issue: IFV is picking up SimVision from an IUS installation. Can you check your $PATH variable and make sure the IFV installation is not corrupted?

    If that does not help try removing your ~/.simvision directory and start again.

    Regards,
    Joerg.

    Hi, Jogerg,

      Thank you for your help. it's strange because other one can run IFV under GUI mode. i have checked my PATH variable, it's ok. and i can also call simvision under tcl mode in FormalVerifier, just can't run ifv with arg "+gui".

      removing ~/.simvision does not help.

    Hi Artur,

    I recommend to contact your Cadence AE at sourcelink or support.cadence.com to do some further analysis. I never heard of a case like this.

    Joerg.

    Arthur,

    Did you use 'which simvision' to verify that you're getting simvision from the IFV release?

    Tpylant,

       yeah, you got the key. i didn't recognize that i should use simvision from the IFV release other than IUS release.

       thank you very much:)
