ADE EXPLORER - use existing netlist

NickJ

I want to run simulations without Explorer creating a new netlist, but it doesn’t seem keen.

I thought hitting run instead of netlist and run was sufficient, but it re-creates the netlist every time. I can’t find a way to tell it not to do that.

I've also tried creating a netlist for the circuit under test and used the config view to point to the netlist instead of the schematic, but I  get duplicate definition errors, an if I remove the duplicate definitions I am left with an error that it doesn't have a definition of the subcircuit I'm trying to simulate.

I feel the solution to this should be easy.

  • The input.scs will be recreated, but the file called  netlist  should (normally) be only recreated if anything in the design changes (it's assembled out of netlists of each subckt, which are incrementally net listed into the ihnl directory). The input.scs is a concatenation of the models to be included, the parameter values, the netlist, and analysis and save statements.

    Not sure why you are trying to prevent the netlist from being recreated (presumably you are hacking carefully modifying the netlist), but if you modify the file called netlist then it would do what you want (unless you've specifically added a setting to force full renetlisting).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
