how to use ADE_L to plot waveform after command line simulation

xianweng

 hi,everyone

        I am simulating a big circuit .When I  use ADE  simulating it,it would take a long time to initialisation,and then begin to simulate.But when I use comnand line to simulate ,for example use command "spectre input.scs" ,it starts  quickly.After it finished,I can use wavescan to plot waveform,but it is not convenient as in ADE using results--direct plot.

       My cadence version is IC615 MMSIM13.0

        Could anyone tell me  how to use ADE_L to plot waveform after command line simulation?

    If there's no netlist, it has to be created - you can't run the simulation from the command line unless the netlist exists. So I don't really get why running from the command line helps you so much when the challenge is creating the netlist in the first place. If you want to save the netlist creation time when you change simulation directory, copy the cellName/simulatorName/viewName dir from your existing simulation dir to the new one, and then the incremental netlister can start from what it had before and then it should be fast...

    Dear andrew, 

           I want to know can i do the simulations of the ADE L using BASH script and provide all types of analysis with different sweeps and corners.

    Please help and thanks in advance.

    Hi Lokesh,

    I suggest you start by reading the Guidelines for the Custom IC Design Forum which ask you not to post questions on the ends of old threads (plus various other guidelines).

    In general, the simplest way is to set things up in ADE L, then do Session->Save OCEAN Script. With this resulting OCEAN script you can (say) put a line at the end saying exit() and then do:

    ocean -restore oceanScript.ocn

    from the command line. You might want to change the design() line to design("libName" "cellName" "schematic") so that it takes care of net listing too.

    For more information consult the OCEAN Reference manual (in the Help menu in Virtuoso, in the search box type "OCEAN" and it will take you to various hits including the OCEAN Reference manual).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
