Netlisting Problem in ADE XL

dannyo

Hi,

I'm using IC6.1.5.500.14

ADE L works fine for me however when I try to run ADE XL         the netlister adds   a    .definitionFile    containing an incorect model file. As a result of this the netlist has an error an the simulation fails.

Where should i look in the netlister files to find this .definitionFile and overwrite it. Or where can i find the script that compiles the netlist.

Thanks for your help

  • Danny,

    Presumably this is set in the Setup->Simulation Files in the test editor. Maybe it is being defaulted by the .cdsenv :

     spectre.envOpts definitionFiles string  "/path/to/whatever"

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Dear Andrew,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I can't find any definitionFiles in my .csdenv or .cdsinit

    Could the definitionFile be set by a different file other than .cdsenv ?

    The models file isn't set in Setup/Simulations File, I define a different model file there.

    ADE L works fine for me, ADE XL has this problem with the extra model file being entered into the netlist,

    Is there any way to get ADE XL to use a fixed netlist location and not create new directories for each Run?

    Thanks for your help

  • Maybe it's in a libInit.il for one of your libraries? Probably the best thing is to contact customer support so that we can look into this.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
