Modelfile not loaded in ADE

HoWei
HoWei over 6 years ago

I transferred an existing project with PDK into our environment.

In .cdsinit it is set:

  envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "/model_libraries/models/lvt_mos.scs;TT")

When verifying in the CIW via

 envGetVal("spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles")

I see it is set properly.

But when opening ADE and creating a netlist, it does not include this modelfile. It also does not show the modelfile in the ADE modelfile-popup-windows - its just empty.

This not only for existing cells, it is also for newly created cells.

WhenI select the modelfile in the ADE modelfile-popup-window, it is included in the netlist.

How can I make it to include the modelfile ?

What does prevent the modelfiles to be loaded ?

    I also see that the modelfiles are not shown in the simulation folders modelfile "/simulations/.../schematic/netlist/.modelFiles".
