Export CDL netlist from two schematic view?

fqp1000y

Dear

    I have a lower level cell name CELL1, and it have two schematic view, one is schematic, another is schematic1;

   And I have a top level schematic name TOP, it instantion CELL1.

   Now i want to export two CDL netlist from TOP, one is NETLIST1, another is NETLIST2.

   The subckt CELL1 in NETLIST1 is generated from schematic, and NETLIST2 is generated from schematic1

   How i can do this?Thanks!

  • Several ways.

    If using IC614, on the File->Export->CDL you can alter the cdlSimViewList field, so you can add "schematic1" into the view list before "schematic".

    If using IC5141, you could put a line in your .simrc file (say in the working directory) saying:

    cdlSimViewList='("auCdl" "schematic1" "schematic")

    In either release, you could create a config (using File->New->CellView and using Hierarchy Editor as the tool) which can then define the rules by which the design is expanded - and you could either tell it to use view schematic1 for this cell, or for a specific instance. Then you'd netlist with the lib/cell/view being this config view you created.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Xiao Fu,

    This changed in IC614 (check Help->About virtuoso to see what version you're using). This is the supported version of IC61, so maybe you need to get a newer version?

    Otherwise you can use the same approach as in IC5141 (.simrc) or you can use a config view.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

        Thank you for you help!

        I have a mistake about the tool's version, the real version is IC612.

       I add cdlSimViewList to si.env file, and my question solved; 

    Regards
