Is there a tool I can use to view the .sdb file generated in an assura run?

    Hi analogmatch

    You can use "vldbToVnl" or "vldbToCdl" as follows:

    linux>vldbToCdl design.sdb > design.sdb.ascii

    The above cmd converts the binary netlist to cdl format. Both commands are from Assura installation. Please refer to Assura user guide for more details.

    Best regards
    Quek
