    Either Tools->NC Verilog (from the CIW), or  Launch->Simulation->NC Verilog (from a schematic).

    Andrew.

    Is it possible to split instance names?

    for example, there is instace in the verilog that we get by NC Verilog netlist generation from a schematic

    BFHVTX12 buffer[1:0] ( .Z(cml_sc[1:0]), .A(buf_cml_sc_i[1:0]));

    but we need to have:

    BFHVTX12 buffer_1 ( .Z(cml_sc[1]), .A(buf_cml_sc_i[1]));

    BFHVTX12 buffer_0 ( .Z(cml_sc[0]), .A(buf_cml_sc_i[0]));

    Then we send verilog netlist to Encounter.

    Encounter does not understand instance name "buffer[1:0]"

    basically, there are a lot of instance like that. We always have to split it manually.

    Please read the forum guidelines - posting a very specific question in a 5 year old general thread is definitely against the guidelines.

    Assuming you're talking about the Verilog netlister in Virtuoso, you can do this with the variable (can enter in the CIW or the .simrc file): vlogExpandIteratedInst = t

    Andrew.
