I'd check the test load conditions specified in the driver buffer model to
make sure nothing wacky is going on. If you've got standard load conditions
that would cause a simulation to fail, it would explain why on-the-fly
simulations fail (as they build a separate circuit to measure the buffer
delay), while library simulations would succeed.

My $0.02.

  Hi All,

  I am seeing something odd in specctraquest 13.6 and wanted to
  solicit your opinion to see if this is a feature of the tool or
  perhaps something else is going on. Simply put, any time
  that I try a waveform simulation that includes a design link
  and calculates buffer delays on the fly, the simulation fails
  at all three speeds. If I run the sim using delays from the library,
  the simulation passes and when I calculate buffer delays in
  the model editor that passes as well. In both cases I am in
  clined to believe the results.

  Any thoughts?

  Best Regards,
