ocean script - input.scs copy

Hi there,

 What I do not like about ocean scripting simulation is that no netlist nor model info would be stored in psf/ folder. netlist/ folder where those info are housed will be automatically overwritten by new simulation. So it is as default impossible to look back old netlist or model environment as far as I know. 

 Therefore I think it would be pretty better to have copy procedure of netlist/input.scs prior to running next simulation. But unfortunately I do not know how to just copy certain file to designated location in ocean script. 

Could you suggest me to do this?

Best regards,

     Hi markbe,

     Thanks for your response.

    I tried and I kind of made it. It surely added individual netlist folder by run to run.

    However, there seems constraint that when you use netlistDir() command, you have to use design() as well without filename option, isnt it? If I violate this constraint, following warning comes up and each input.scs wont be created.

    \o           You can not change the netlistDir because you specified the
    \o           design() using the filename option.  The netlistDir will
    \o           remain the same as the directory you specified with the
    \o           design() command.

     As you know, when creating "oceanScript.ocn" form ADE, it usually enables filename option, looking like

    design("<netlist filename>")

    Is there any magic to disable filename option in creating "oceanScript.ocn" form ADE?
