Turning off Spectre Views

JustinTaylor86
JustinTaylor86 over 13 years ago

Hi,
 
I am simulating using various views.
 
I created a spectre view so I could conduct extracted simulations on the layout however I want to change the view that simulator sees at a block level.
 
Imagine I have 2 blocks. Block A is connected to Block B. Currently both blocks are simulated using the spectre view. I would like block A to simulate using schematic view and Block B using spectre view simultaneously.
 
How can this be done?
 
Thanks

    Hi Justin,

    Have you tried creating a configuration using the Hierarchy Editor, it should be possible to arrange a set up like this fairly easily.  The default view list expansion would favour 'spectre' over 'schematic', but you can change this on an instance-basis or even a cell-basis.

    Take a look at the documentation, it should help.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

    Thanks,

     config view created. I am trying to use a calibre view for one block but there are netlist errors. I have added calibre into the 'view list' in the hierarchy editor and I have changed the 'view found' for cell 'y'

     .....terminal 'x' found in cell 'y', view 'symbol' does not exist in cell 'y' view 'calibre'

    and naturally there is an error for each pin in cell 'y'.

     Any ideas?
