adding simulator views to a PDK (additional questions)

Aksl

Hi All,

I have read the archive post on "adding simulator views to a PDK" and I have some difficulties to setup the recommandations made.

In my side, I have a tech library with symbol, spectre and hspice views.
But I only have the eldo simulation files. Therefore I would like to link this eldo siminfo for the library I have.
I have already modified the eldo siminfo of the CDF for that instance according to what is written in the documentation and similarly to the CDF info of similar components in the analogLib library (because the eldo view and CDF exist for the components in analogLib).

So my questions are:
* i do not really understand what's the purpose of the cdfDump function to use? What does that do actually?
* how can I build the CDF info such that I can see an eldo view in my instance view list? Is there somewhere a compile process? In that the purpose of the cdfDump? In fact, after having changed the CDF, if I try to simulate as such, it tells me that it does not find any stopping view ; which is obvious because eldo view does not exist.

Thks in advance for helping me

Best Regards,


Axel
