How to add a list of model files into ADE form through command line.

Dear All,

I want to add some model files to ADE model-setup list through SKILL script.

Basically I would have SKILL script containing the model-files name,locations & type and necessary commands and then I will just rund that script to add the Model files into ADE form.

Can anybody please tell what is the command ?

Kind Regards,

    The issue is likely to be complicated by whether you have a PDK with a libInit.il that doesn't get loaded until after your .cdsinit - and this might be also setting the model libraries and clobber your setting. You can generally force that by putting this expression in your .cdsinit :

    ddGetObj("gpdk045")->techLibName

    the ddGetObj is enough to trigger the "firstAccessLib" trigger of the library, which would load the libInit.il . The property is just something arbitrary to look at  - doesn't really matter. Of course, you'd replace gpdk045 with whatever library name you want. Then having forced the libInit.il to be loaded, you can append the modelFiles however you want in the safe knowledge that the libInit.il won't get loaded again.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
