Answers:

There is something wrong with the circuit and hence the netlist. The simulator has tried to simulate but failed. Can you please copy - paste the netlist (file with the extension .cir.out) here?

I will look into this. Can you also copy-paste the .cir file?

What kind of analysis are you doing? Are you trying to do a tran analysis? tran analysis does not make any sense as there is no time dependent source in your circuit. Or you can give a pulse input and do a tran analysis. 
By the way, you need not give separate DC power supply to each and every gate in your circuit. The netlist converter takes care of it. You need to give only a power flag  (PWR_FLAG) at the Vcc terminal to indicate that there is a power source.You may want to check out the example on BasicGates in the Examples folder to get a better idea.

But what about the above question which i asked ?
I have tried that thing but it doesn't works everytime. So i m giving Vcc in every gate.

See the above error "<span style="background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">doAnalyses: iteration limit reached</span>
<span style="background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">run simulation(s) aborted " - </span>just means your netlist has errors and simulation did not run successfully. So the next step is to figure out what the error in the circuit is. You did not answer my question above.

i m doing DC analysis for this circuit. but for pulse signal i mdoing trans. analysis

02-05-14, 5:15 p.m. Huzefa
I just did a KicadtoNgspice conversion for the .cir  file above and gave a DC analysis for V1. I did not get any error. I did not see a PULSE signal in your circuit above.
You can remove all the DC sources that you have tied to the Vcc pins and give a PWR_FLAG there. Then do a DC analysis and let me know what you get.

Same error though i have removed all the source at vcc and gnd, by replacing just 1 pwr_flag

I am getting error iteration limit reached in simple digital circuit.I have drawn the circuit twice taken all the care about netlist generation also.. please suggest me a proper solution.
Thanks
03-05-14, 6:26 p.m. 7skysurfers
I have designed a circuit having 6 simple gates in digital electronics, the output is all ok. But I just added four NOT gates and it resulted in
 "Error:
  doAnalyses: iteration limit reached
  run simulation(s) aborted"

So I concluded that increased no of gates created problem there. Which does not seem quite logical.
Please state the reason for the error and guide me.
Thanks..

Sure, we will look into this.

When I replaced U1C-U1D-U2D combination with a NAND gate, it gets simulated correctly.
03-05-14, 11:24 p.m. rakhiwarriar
Thank you for your suggestion... it gets simulated correctly.
But can u tell me the reason for using of this alternative way?
Why the correct ans is not coming before replacing NAND gate?
04-05-14, 5:32 p.m. Huzefa
Well, if I understand correctly, it is because of the way we have modelled a digital IC in the backend. When an output drives multiple gates, particularly quad NOT gates, it creates a bug. (To be precise, this creates multiple paths between two nodes). One workaround is to replace redundant combinations with a relevant gate as we did above. We shall try to resolve this issue, as soon as possible.
