Hi All, 

can anyone please let me know what is the difference between running Quantus QRC from Assura menu as compared to the Quantus menu ?

Any details will be great help. 

thanks

    There is no difference. They're essentially both there for historical reasons.

    thanks Andrew,  I ran " Assura -> Run Quantus QRC" which ran successfully. 

    But i cant locate any dspf / spef file  anywhere. I am trying to run EMIR 

    So what am i missing to be able to generate files required (i think DSPF)  for running Voltus-FI ?

    Did you set the Output on the Setup tab to "Transistor Dspf"? That's where you specify the output file...

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks Andre that helps. Is there any difference between selecting only DSPF and 'Transistor Dspf" ?

    Yes, which is why there's a choice! DSPF is intended to stop at cell level (e.g. standard cells) and you have to tell it the list of cells, and other information (a few more fields appear). Transistor Dspf goes all the way down to transistor level.
