Cadence Simulations using file

[unforgiven@gmail.com]

hi,
does anyone know or has a script i can run to input simulation data
using file and get the output in a file without any user interface so
i can have matlab feeding the data into cadence and reading the data
out.
Regards
Meysam

Your question is too vague and open ended. You didn't say what simulator you're
using, and you didn't say what you're really trying to do. So I'm going to
guess what you're actually asking, and give my answer based on my wild
guess...

You can run spectre from
the command line, and you can use pwl sources (see "spectre -h vsource")
to read from files to generate signals based on time-value pairs. You can output
in various ASCII formats (e.g. psfascii, nutascii in some cases) by using
the -f option to spectre (see "spectre -h"). Or you can use OCEAN to write
out data in ASCII formats. Also, in MMSIM61 and later, there's a spectre toolbox
for matlab so you can directly read psf data in matlab.

Regards,

Andrew.
