Export Netlist with VerilogA subblock when there is no ADE license

quyleanh

Dear all,

I would like to ask how to export netlist with VerilogA subblock when there is no ADE license.

I can export normal schematic view by using si -batch -command netlist command with a defined si.env file.

However, when exporting a schematic with VerilogA inside, the following error is outputed.

Virtuoso Framework License (111) was checked out successfully. Total checkout time was 2.40s.
*Error* dbClose: argument #1 should be a database object (type template = "d") - nil

Here is my si.env file

simLibName = "xxx"
simCellName = "xxx"
simViewName = "schematic"
simSimulator = "auCdl"
simNotIncremental = 't
simReNetlistAll = nil
simViewList = '("auCdl" "schematic")
simStopList = '("auCdl")
hnlNetlistFileName = "netlist"
resistorModel = ""
shortRES = 2000.0
preserveRES = 't
checkRESVAL = 't
checkRESSIZE = 'nil
preserveCAP = 't
checkCAPVAL = 't
checkCAPAREA = 'nil
preserveDIO = 't
checkDIOAREA = 't
checkDIOPERI = 't
checkCAPPERI = 'nil
simPrintInhConnAttributes = 'nil
checkScale = "meter"
checkLDD = 'nil
pinMAP = 'nil
preserveBangInNetlist = 'nil
shrinkFACTOR = 0.0
globalPowerSig = ""
globalGndSig = ""
displayPININFO = 't
preserveALL = 't
setEQUIV = ""
incFILE = ""
auCdlDefNetlistProc = "ansCdlSubcktCall"

Could anyone help me this problem? Thank you.

    The si.env you're describing is to produce a CDL netlist; Verilog-A doesn't make any sense for CDL (which is for physical verification, not simulation). If you want a spectre netlist, you need an ADE license.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thank you very much for you quick response.

    So if I want to export netlist for simulation (including VerilogA), which si.env configuration should I use?

    For example, the "simSimulator" should be "spectre"?

    And one last question, if I can't have ADE license, how can I export netlist in this case?

    Thank you very much for your help. I have tried the tutorial in your recommend article. There must be ADE license to export.

    I've no idea what you're asking me to check - I don't understand what's wrong?

    You can try yourself.

    I'd already tried that (it worked for me) and I tried again, and it still worked. I'll ask IT about it.
