Converting Schematic Testbench Setup into Command Line Spice File(s)?

life

Hi,

Assuming I have a complete test bench with timing signals, biases, voltage sources, etc connected to different sub blocks. Is there an easy way to convert this "schematic gui" into a spice level test bench? 

Thanks in advance ~

    That's what the Analog Design Environment is for. If you want a SPICE netlist, you can use the "hspiceD" simulator integration. You can then generate a netlist and use it from the command line.

    That is of course assuming that you're using Virtuoso. You made no mention of which tools or versions you're using. 'this "schematic gui"' is not very precise...
