Altering model parameter of single instance

ChrisEAS
ChrisEAS over 13 years ago

Hi there. I'd like to convince Spectre to alter a model parameter of a single instance only. Say I'm having...

 M0 (d g 0 0) mymodel l=1 w=1

 M1 (d g 0 0) mymodel l=1 w=1

and I'd like to have something like

 alter1 alter dev=M1 param=tox value=3.141

However, the above statement won't work. I'd really like to avoid defining a new model each time...

Thanks!

    Since I wanted to work with several alters, this is quite a shame. I was then trying to create model aliases, eg.

     model tox_model mymodel tox=3.141

    but that didn't work either. Might be due to my Spectre version 6.1.1. So my only option seems to be a separate model card for each altered parameter, or is there another possiblity?
