MMSIM Issue with IC5141

Bilal Porto

I was using IC5141 on CentOS 64bit with MMSIM 12. The problem was that mmsim was defined prior to IC tools. my script looked something like following :

setenv MMSIM_12_11        ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/mmsim            
set path=(    \
    $MMSIM_12_11/bin\
    ${path}\
    )
set path=(    \
    $MMSIM_12_11/tools/bin\
    ${path}\
    )


# Set environmental variables and paths for IC_5.1.41HF151 and tools
set path = (~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/mmsim/bin $path)
setenv  CDS_ROOT                ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ic_5.1
setenv     CDS_INST_DIR        ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ic_5.1            # Basic Cadence (i.e. IC tools)
setenv     CDSDIR             ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ic_5.1            # IC tools (composer, virtuoso, etc.)
setenv     CDS_INSTALL_DIR     ${CDS_INST_DIR}/tools/dfII
setenv     CDSHOME         $CDS_INST_DIR
setenv     EDI               ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/edi9.12            # SOC Encounter place and route
#setenv IUS               $base_dir/IUS-F08                    # Verilog simulators
setenv     ETS               ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ets9_1            # Encounter Library Characterizer, Timing
setenv     ET               ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/ets9_1            # Encounter Test system
setenv     RC                ~cdsmgr/cad/tools/cadence/RC             # RTL Compiler synthesis

set path=(    \
    $CDS_ROOT\
    $CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin\
    $CDS_INST_DIR/bin\
    $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/bin\
    $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/dfII/bin\
    $EDI/bin\
    $ETS/bin\
    $ET/tools.lnx86/bin\
    $RC/bin\
    ${path}\
    )

It apparently was working fine but when i checked with command spectre -W, it showed sub-version  5.10.41.121508 .

Now if i define MMSIM path after IC tools, i get in terminal for spectre version sub-version  12.1.1.096.isr12

but in CIW, it is giving error.

I understand that this problem is coming from mmsim/bin/cds_root. but cannot understand why. Please help me with it.

    what i meant is that iC6 looks a bit different. U know i feel a bit uncomfortable with tabs misplaced or some extra tabs which i don't know the meaning. but let me ask you one favour. which parasitic tool is good for extracting self inductance and mutual inductance i.e Assura QRC or Calibre. can you please provide a short tutorial in setting up calibre and assura specifically for indutance. I found alot of help for capacitance and resistance. but still i am not clear for inductance. if this has already been discussed in another thread, please provide the link. Thanks
