Creating extracted netlists using script

Hi,

 

I am trying to simulate my extracted views but am currently having some difficulty creating the actual netlists.

I have a testbench, which instances the device under test. The testbench is a schematic view, whilst the device under test has both schematic and extracted views.

I have added the extracted view onto the switch list using 'envSetVal'. Then I have the following calls in my script:

- design( myLib myCell extracted)

- createNetlist()

However, this fails as the netlister says the testbench does not have an extracted view. I was under the impression that if there was not an extracted view available as with the testbench, then the next view on the switch list would be used for netlisting (in this case the schematic view). Therefore, this should be ok??

Is this the correct method to create extracted netlists, or am I missing something obvious? Do I have to define exactly what cells use what view?

 (I should also point out that all my schematic netlisting sims etc work fine. It is just creating the extracted netlists that I am having difficulty with)

 

Thank you very much in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Regards

    Thanks Andrew,

     

    Anything that saves time is definately worth a look. I'll investigate this further when I get a chance.
