malias function

VINCENTCHENG

Hi, 

Does ADEXL has the "malias" function as in HSPICE?

Ex:

.malias nch = nch_mvt

(I want to change all 'nch_mvt' in the schematic to 'nch' without modify schematic )

thanks.

    Your question doesn't really make sense. ADE XL is not a simulator. Spectre (which is a simulator) does support model aliasing, and you can do that either with the SPICE syntax:

    .malias nch=nch_mvt

    or with the spectre syntax:

    model nch_mvt nch

    Are you using spectre as the simulator? Maybe that's what you want - to tell the simulator to alias the model?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I use Spectre as simulator.

    I want to know where to set  "spectre syntax: model nch_mvt nch" in ADE XL.

    For HSPICE, I just simply put ".malias nch=nch_mvt" in my .sp file.

    Create a file called (say) alias.scs and put:

    model nch_mvt nch

    in that file. Then add this file via Setup->Model Libraries in ADE (for the test) or Setup->Simulation Files under Definition Files.

    Or you could create a file called alias.sp and put:

    .malias nch=nch_mvt

    and then reference that file in the same way. If the suffix is ".scs" then it's assumed to be in Spectre syntax; otherwise it's assumed to be in SPICE syntax.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
