Cadence DRC Environment vars

samer1
samer1 over 8 years ago

I want to run DRC a a specific cell. 

first, I used to run it as: IBMPDK-> checking > calibre DRC and a form would pop up where I can define my BEOL_stack. Now I am running on a copy of the kit and when i go through the same procedure (IBMPDK-> checking > calibre DRC), nothing shows up (no window pops up). 

So, I decided to do it from Calibre->DRC and the calibre window (calibre interactive) poped up but without that form where i set the environmental variables (ex: BEOL_stack). So,  when I run it ,it shows that error<

Error while compiling rules file /data1/IBM_PDK/cmos10lpe/V1.5.0.0RF/Calibre/DRC/cmos10lpe.drc.cal:
Error USER1 on line 102 of $TECHDIR/DRC/Include/cmos10lpe_config.drc.cal - ENVIRONMENT variable $BEOL_STACK must be set to one of:

6_10_01_00_LB,
5_00_01_10_LB,
6_00_01_10_LB,
4_01_00_01_LD,
5_01_00_01_LD,
4_01_00_01_LB,
5_01_00_01_LB

Can some one help me with that?

Also, I want to understand what a runset mean?

Thanks

    Your questions are all about Calibre. Calibre is a tool from Mentor Graphics, not Cadence Design Systems. You will almost certainly be better off asking this in a Mentor Graphics forum rather than a Cadence forum...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
