Custom Netlisting in ADE

GaneshShamnur

Hi,

Below is my question regarding custom netlisting in ADE.

I have a simulatable design in ADE which is: Testbench( DUT + Stimulus) + Analysis( say tran) + Model-files being attached+ Save signals mentioned.

My requirement is to dump a netlist file with only circuit aspect of it ( only Testbech+Model-files) but not stimulus ( i.e Analysis and Save statements discarded) in it. Is there a way to do it ?

Even if it would require some amount of SKILL or OCEAN automation, I am fine to accept the solution. However, if ADE has a direct means to do so, I would very glad to recieve the solution.

Thanks,

Ganesh

    Hi Ganesh,

    By a simulatable design, I assume you mean that you have an input.scs (assuming Spectre as your simulator).  The input.scs file resides in the <cell>/<simulator>/<view>/netlist directory of your projectDir (envGetVal("asimenv.startup" "projectDir").  If you look at the netlist file in that same directory, you should find just the connectivity only data, but this lacks the model definitions.  Does this help you?
