How to set default simulator and simulation library in IC5141?

enzochi

How to setup the default simulator and simulation libraryin IC5141? That I don't have to setup it any time when I create a new test bench for my new cells?

 

Thanks

    The problem is that the .cdsenv (e.g. from your home dir) gets read before the .cdsinit - and most likely the Mentor customization loaded from your .cdsinit is changing the default simulator to eldoD. So you probably need to be able to modify the .cdsinit (maybe the readonly .cdsinit has SKILL code in it to load a user file instead?).

    You could revert to "icfb -nocdsinit -restore myInit" and then have myInit contain:

    load(".cdsinit") ; get the path right
    envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "simulator" 'string "spectre")

    and then create yourself an alias or wrapper script to avoid having to type the long icfb.
