How to create a final netlist from ADE-XL with global variables using Skill?

I am trying to create a netlist from ADE-XL through skill command. My intention is to create the same netlist which ADE-XL creates when user clicks "Run" button in ADE-XL.

 

I tried following options. But all of them don't take "Global Variables" in to account.

 

createFinalNetlist

asiFinalNetlist

asiExecuteFlowChart(o_session 'asiComposeSimInput)

 

Is there any other way to achieve this?

 

Thanks,
Ram

    The problem is that there is no single "final netlist" in ADE XL. If you have multiple tests, multiple corners, sweeps, parameters etc, the netlist will be different for each simulation point. So it doesn't really make sense to have a "final netlist".

    Why do you want to do this anyway? It will create the netlists automatically at simulation time.

    Note that the functions you are using are effectively the ADE L way of doing things - which is essentially what you'd get if you do a Netlist->Create from the right mouse button menu over the test - this is a netlist only using info from that test, and not from the global setup. It's there for debugging reasons and really because it is inherited from ADE L.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
