regarding model files setup in IC615

fazul

Hello everybody

I have 2 questions regarding setting model files from the Model Library Setup Form.  

[1] In IC615 when setting the model files from the Model Library Setup Form , clicking the <click here to add model file>

opens the file browser in the default cadence virtuoso  launch directory. Is it possible to change this default path to my own 

specific Model Library path as default?

[2]  i use a skill program to  set my model files by running envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "<mypath>" )

in this way if there are 4 files, all 4 entries  in the Model Library Setup Form will be  checked true. (left side checkbox which decides whether to include the file in the netlist or not)

is it possible to set/clear this checkbox by skill program?  

i hope i made my questions clear .. kindly help me if u know how to do them ...

have a nice day

  • Hi Fazul,
     
    In response to question 1:
     
    You can set the default model path to the model file.
    envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "<mypath>" )
     
    You cannot change the default directory where the file browser is opened using SKILL.  It is set to the software startup/launch directory.
    An enhancement CCR would need to be filed (contact Cadence Customer Support).
     
    I don't have an answer off the top of my head for question 2.  If you don't receive an answer, you may want to contact Cadence Customer Support.  http://support.cadence.com .
     
    best regards,

  • Fazul,

    This will define a model libraries, including sections:

    envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "fred.scs;NN jim.scs harry.scs;FF")

    If you want to disable some of them:

    envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "fred.scs;NN #;jim.scs #;harry.scs;FF")

    See Solution 11210060 for an explanation of this. You might also want to set the includePath cdsenv to allow the model files to be relative to a search path - see Solution 1839602

    Regards,

    Andrew.
