how to automatically simulate ADE states one by one

[Kirk]

We used ADE for our many analog design IPs and created a lot of states
for each design. These states are saved in ~/.artist_states . We wish
to sequence these states and run the simulation one state by one state
in command line mode (SKILL is fine here as long as it can work).
However, it seems that the script only netlist the current
setting(state) in simulation directory. We wish to load the state one
by one in command mode. Do you know how to do that?

One feasible way I see is to convert these states to Ocean scripts for
each state. However, it seems that we do not have a skill script allow
us to do this. we want to do it in no-graphic mode. One constraint is
that we wish not to open the states one by one in ADE to convert the
states to ocnScipt.

Thanks a lot!

Have you considered Aptivia? It is not command line, though.

Aptivia (VSDE) can be executed from command line as well using acvperl
executable. You can create a plan to execute multiple tests (ade state)
and run this plan from command line using acvperl.
