how to get evaluated netSet - schematic hierarchy

[Marcel Preda]

Hi,
is there a way to get the evaluated net names in IC 4.4.6.100.68 ?

We have skill procedures which does a flat netlist traversing a
schematic hierarchy.

To get evaluated netSet properties we have used a skill function
schNetExprEvalNames.
Everything was fine until now.
Now we have found some projects made in some old flows (IC
4.4.6.100.68),
and looks like the schNetExprEvalNames is available starting with
5.1.41 .

Is there other way to get the evaluated names ?


thank you,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

My last experience with IC446 was as far as 6 years back and have no
idea at all about how to do this in IC446 if it possible at all.
But since you have developed your Skill in IC5141, then why don't you
'try' to migrate your old databases from IC446 to IC5141 and then run
your routine. It's less hassle than keeping the old stuff slowing you
down. Besides, I guess you have some good reasons working with flat
netlists throwing away all the advantages of a hierarchical design.
I'm sorry I haven't answered your question ...

Regards,
Riad.

Also, if you did the flat netlist using the fnl functions (i.e. part of OSS), it
would handle this directly - without you needing to evaluate them yourself...
