installation of design kit

[tarekmh]

Hi,

I have the model cards and .scs files for the cadence environment and
I need to know how to install these files and use them in simulation.
A complete description for attaching these models to devices and
installation folder creation is needed.

Thanks

Not sure if this is a troll or not; and, there's not much other than
the intensly obvious to go on, so I'll be broadly generic to advise a
wide range of possibilities.

Many people recommend you maintain a PROJECT hierarchy.
In that PROJECT hierarchy, you keep your projects (not surprisingly).
For example: PROJECT
/ \
EAGLET_CDK180 PARROT_CDK090

In any one project, you keep your design files separate from kit files:
For example: PARROT_CDK090
/ \
design share

In your "share" hierarchy, you link to a complete design kit:
For example: share
/ \
CDK090 SKILL

In that complete design kit, you'll have custom & digital components:
For example: share
/ | \
cdk090 sclib090 memlib090

In the custom portion of your design kit, you'll have models & rule
decks:
For example: cdk090
/ | \
models_090 tfile090 assura090

Those model directories should support your simulator:
For example: models
/ \
spectre spice

In the Spectre model directory, should be your desired files:
For example: spectre
/ \
gpdk090.scs res_polywo.va

If you organize your hierarchy this way, you can simply point to these
models when you run your Spectre simulation using a relative path
starting from your design working directory:
../../share/CDK090/models/spectre/gpdk090.scs
