Denali Model Issue "Unable to load dynamic library"


The error reported was :-

irun: 10.20-s100: (c) Copyright 1995-2011 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
TOOL: irun 10.20-s100: Started on Sep 03, 2012 at 15:30:19 BST
irun
-r S*_S*_TB
-gui
ncsim: *W,NOCIFDLL: Unable to load dynamic library: libfmi.
OSDLERROR: .
ncsim: *F,NOLIBT: foreign library 'DenClib: flashLeapfrog' (for @pvrlib.at25df321(behavior)) not found.
TOOL: irun 10.20-s100: Exiting on Sep 03, 2012 at 15:31:11 BST  (total: 00:00:52)

We were not able to get rid of the error by using a -64bit option in irun(i.e. cadence simulator)
Compile with cadence -64bit and also run with -64bit option.
Typical command would look like:
irun -64bit -r S*_S*_TB -gui

Steps to work with Denali 
a) Register yourself with Denali.

c) Once a soma file is downloaded/ you get the soma file by email.
d) Convert the soma file into vhd file
Steps for doing that

1) Setting the denali software
module load denali/3.3.011
2)
pureview &
3) 
Click open soma option in the pureview software
4)
Another window will open up 
5)
Then go to options --> Simulation Environment --> Cadence LeapFrog/NC VHDL
6)
Then go to the source in the same window
7)
Then go to File --> Save as sources --> Name of the file you would like to save this file as.
