Random number generation in Ocean Script

sita

Hi,

I would like to generate random numbers between two decimal numbers in Ocean Script
eg: 2.5 to 3.5 i need to use this to vary lengths and widths of transistors from ocean script.(RAND_MAX is not known like in C)
Please help me doing this


Thanks,
Sita

  • Hi Sita,

    The random() SKILL/OCEAN function could be used for this.  It takes an integer as an argument and returns an integer value between 0 and the argument minus 1, so you would need to scale accordingly.  To get a value between 2.5 and 3.5 you could do something like:

    2.5+random(1000)/1000.0

    Change the argument/divisor to adjust the number of significant digits required for your application.

    Regards,

    TOM
