Simulation error when switching to a newer XMODEL release

SA Support Team Staff 2018-02-02

I have a simulation that runs fine with the XMODEL 2017.06 release. However, when I switched to 2018.01 release, the same simulation failed with the following messages:

*** ERROR: error while parsing the configuration file:
    /data1/Tools/XMODEL/2_xmodel_2018.01_x86_64/etc/default_config.py

In line #19:
    from devo_util import regex, wildcard

ImportError: No module named devo_util

It appears that you might have mixed the 2017.06 settings with the 2018.01 ones. For instance, the mentioned message can happen when you are still calling 2017.06 executables with the 2018.01 environment settings.

One possibility is that you may have updated $XMODEL_HOME to the new 2018.01 release but not updated $PATH. So your XMODEL simulation is still calling the old 2017.06 executables.

One way to check this is to type:

echo $XMODEL_HOME

and

which xmodel

and see whether there is any difference in the XMODEL releases between the two.
