Re: Simulating subcircuit within ADE with view other than spectre

Hi,

Following the steps listed in this URL, community.cadence.com/cadence_blogs_8/b/rf/archive/2009/01/07/tip-of-the-week-how-to-simulate-a-subcircuit-netlist-with-spectre-in-ade I was able to instantiate a spice netlist and run simulations within ADE.

For the step, "Make a copy of this symbol view and call the new view "spectre.", is it possible to create the steps for a view name to something else other than spectre? For example, is it possible to create a view call "LocalSimViews" instead of "spectre"?

Regards,

S Lim

    Did you add "SpectreSims" into the stop list in the hierarchy editor? If you don't do that, it won't see the view as a stop view and so will try to traverse its hierarchy (of which there is no hierarchy, and so there's nothing to be netlisted).

    As Tom said, you need it in the stop list. Picking it as the view to use is one part, but defining it as a stopping view is also necessary.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
