SKILL function to open analog env.

[abhishek]

hello everybody

i am trying to open analog environment window for the simulation of my
design (using SKILL function) ... will the SKILL analog expression
language functions be of any help.. i really couldnt figure it out..


is there any other way to do it ..

 

[S. Badel]

try this:

sevStartSession( ?lib "YOURLIB" ?cell "YOURCELL" ?view "YOURVIEW" )

and see the "CadenceŽ Analog Design Environment SKILL Language Reference" manual,
chapter 21, for a description of the sev* functions which allow to control the
ADE from SKILL.

cheers,

stéphane

hi everybody

i am trying to set "spectre" simulation in cadence.. and i am doing
something like this

asiSetEnvOptionVal( asiGetTool( 'spectre) 'modelPath
"......./models")

but it didnt work .... the reason i think could be because --- spectre
simulator has it own class which inherits from analog class and
inherited feature from any level is not applicable to the lower
level..

also it says use some "hiCyclic...." function.

please help me find a way out....

thanks!

If you're using spectre, rather than spectreS, it would be modelFiles you set,
not modelPath. Something like:

asiSetEnvOptionVal(asiGetTool('spectre) "modelFiles" '(("path_to_modelFile"
"section_name")))

For Example:

asiSetEnvOptionVal(asiGetTool('spectre) "modelFiles"
'(("/mypath/mySpectreModels.scs" "cmos")))

If you are not using a "section" all you need is this:

asiSetEnvOptionVal(asiGetTool('spectre) "modelFiles"
'("/mypath/mySpectreModels.scs"))
