From spectremdl to ultrasim : any cadence solution ?

Hello !!

I have a simulation database for spectremdl (CADENCE) it means I have all the mandatory files to execute : 

spectremdl -tab -batch deck.mdl -design deck.scs

 

However, my aim is to use ultrasim (CADENCE). But, because the spectremdl strategy is done in such a way that all the measurements are in the deck.mdl file, i cannot launch ultrasim straight like this :

ultrasim deck.scs

Indeed, i would not have any output measurements.

 

So, except doing some scripting from my side, is there a Cadence solution to be able to execute ultrasim from a "spectremdl database" ?

 Thanks a lot !

P.

 

My tools version :

MMSIM10_11/tools/bin/spectremdl (Version 10.1.1.181.isr12 64bit -- 26 Jul 2011)

MMSIM10_11/tools/bin/ultrasim (Version 10.1.1.181.isr12  64bit 07/27/2011 02:55 (usimamd64-14))

    That's rather confusing since you said you wanted to run spectremdl. That will only work with simulators that support MDL - i.e. spectre, APS and XPS. So if your "characterization tool is not supporting well spectre", I'm not sure what you were actually asking.

    Oh well,

    Andrew.
