How to run a scs file using ocean?

bobbygang

Hi,
    I can use command spectre in unix to run a scs file. But how can I achieve this in ocean?
I means that usually I set "simulator" "design" "analysis"  ...then I run an ocean.
But if I already had an input file, how to run it?

Best Regards,
Bobby

    Bobby,

    The design() function can be given the path to a netlist - but in this case the expectation is that this is a netlist without the analyses or models - just the actual design. Potentially it could be the complete file, but you'd have to jump through a few hoops to make it work. It might just be simpler to do:

    system("cd /path/to/netlist/dir; spectre -raw ../psf input.scs")

    or similar.

    Andrew.

    Oh! It works! Thanks!

    Then if I add other command after system(), it  works after the system() completed, doesn't it?
