Have device connectivity added as an include?

SharksFan

Hi,

 Presently, the device connectivity portion of the input file is added as a "cat" function where every single line of the device connectivity shows up as a line in the input file.  Is there any hidden switch to change the behavior so that the device connectivity shows up as a single .include statement?

  •  SharksFan,

    What Lawrence says is true. Also, this forum is not an alternative to customer support - whilst I work for Cadence, my role is to deal with customers in my region and work as one member of a larger team - having to take on enhancement requests coming in from worldwide users via the forum would take more than the limited bandwidth I have (I'd have to prepare testcases, and outline in detail the benefit, and so on, and then follow it through with R&D). I do this Forum work as a spare-time activity (it's not part of my job).

    This is precisely what customer support is for. It allows us to get true information about customer demand to resolve specific bugs and to implement specific features - whereas I have no idea who you are or how much impact such an enhancement would have in your company.

    As for Phil's request - I don't think it makes any sense unless the simulator itself was capable of understanding bus syntax. If the simulator (and most SPICE-like simulators fall into this category) do not have the concept of a bus (all nets are scalar) then that would need addressing first - then we could add the capability of netlisting buses as buses.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
