     Did you try reading the documentation, or searching on Cadence Online Support? There is a solution for this on Cadence Online Support at http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:ViewSolution;solutionNumber=1839795 which I found simply by searching for "ocean createNetlist" (without the quotation marks).

    Simply, do:

    simulator('spectre)
    design("myLib" "myCell" "schematic")
    createNetlist()

    If using IC5141 you'll have to run this from icfb (not the "ocean" executable) because the "ocean" executable does not support netlisting. In IC61X, that's no longer an issue, so you can do it from the "ocean" executable too.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.

    I'm guessing you've already solved your issue by now. For anyone else looking through these threads and are hung up on this issue maybe this can shed some light on the subject.

    make a simple script to run the non graphical icfb then give it lines of commands followed by "exit" and it will spit out a spectre netlist ".scs" file.

     icfb -nograph < filewithcommands

     

     heres what the "filewithcommands" looks like inside:

     

    simulator( 'spectre )

    design( "libname" "cellname" "viewname")

    createNetlist( ?recreateAll t)

    exit
