Generate netlist with subckt statement for top level

Octavian

I'm generating a netlist from CIW using:

simulator('spectre)
design("libName" "cellName" "viewName")
createNetlist()

This works fine but I would like to enclose the top level cell in .subckt/ends statements, similar to other cells in the hierarchy. Is that possible using the skill/ocean interface?

 

Thanks,

  • Hi, Andrew. I placed your code, followed by Tavi's code, inside a procedure, but I got some problems.

    If I call the procedure from within CIW, I don't get any errors and the netlist is generated as it should be.

    But if I placed it as a sub menu item,

     procedure( AddItemSubHier( _args )

    let( ( fileMenu slider MenuItemSubCktNetlist )

    fileMenu = car( setof( menu hiGetBannerMenus( hiGetCurrentWindow() ) rexMatchp("^schFileMenu" menu ) ) )

    if( fileMenu 

    slider = eval( car( setof( item eval( fileMenu )->? rexMatchp( "^schHierSlider" item ) ) ) ) 

    )

    MenuItemSubCktNetlist = hiCreateMenuItem( ?name 'menu1 ?itemText "Netlist - Subcircuito" ?callback "Netlist_TopLevel_SubCkt()" )

    when( !slider->menu1 hiInsertMenuItem( slider MenuItemSubCktNetlist length( slider->? ) ) )

    ) ;let

    ) ;procedure

    deRegUserTriggers( "schematic" nil nil 'AddItemSubHier )

    and load it in the cdsinit.il file, I get the following error:

    *Error* _iliGetSlotSpecs: not a class object or class name - spectreFormatter

     

    What have I done wrong?

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Best regards,
