Electromigration/IR drop (EMIR)

Hi, 

I setup a transient simulation from a terminal (without the use of ADEXL).

I use dspf netlist for a post-layout simulation and I want to use the emir option for electromigration/ir drop simulation.

I have the following questions/notices considering this procedure:

In the input.scs I do:

__________________________________

dspf_include="path/file.dspf format"

__________________________________

considering the extracted netlist in dspf format.

Then in the input.scs file I make to sections:

a) with the simulatorOptions (gmin etc) and

b) with the transient options (stop time etc).

the problem: I want to do the EM/IR analysis as it is described in spectreuser.pdf manual, section of post-layout simulation.

So, I add a line of the form in the input.scs:

___________________________

emir="path/emirconfigfile.conf"

____________________________

where the .conf file is the configuration file. My conf file has the following lines (doing what it is described in the manual):

________________________________________________________

solver method=[auto]

net name=[I0.*]

analysis=[imax]

emirutil emdatafile="./emmodel.txt" violation-map=all notation=[e]

_________________________________________________________

I0 is an instance

Questions:

1) Where do I add the emir=" " statement, in what section (in the simulationOptions, elsewhere)?

2) Is my .conf file correct?

3) The dspf file that I get from the extraction has some nodes of the form:

GAIN.XBOX_L<0>/XI0/MPG1:d

How could I probe this after my simulation? What I did (without success) I put in the save section

of input.scs: 

GAIN.XBOX_L\<0\>/XI0/MPG1:d

Thank you
