Running ocean script from ADE

BillH314
BillH314 over 2 years ago

Is there a way to have ADE Explorer and/or Assembler automatically launch an ocean (or skill) script after a simulation run?

(For example, for post- processing data or to launch or read data from other CAD tools or programs)

How about at the beginning of the simulation run?

Can this be done parametrically for each corner?  (If I'm running 20 corners can I have the ocean script run 20 times)?

Is there a way to pass cds_global variables as parameters to the ocean/skill script?

Thank you!

    You could add an OCEAN script measurement to your test (in the Outputs pane) and then change the EvalType to all if you want to run it once for the whole run (note that the EvalType column doesn't appear by default in Explorer; you have to use the Right Mouse button menu over the column headings in the output pane to enable it. It is however there in Assembler by default). If you want to run the OCEAN script per point, that's the default. If you're doing sweeps and corners and want it once per corner, then you can change the evalType to sweeps (means "measure across sweeps", which gives you once per corner).

    There is also this older solution based on some code that I wrote, but I think it's not really needed given the support for measure across sweeps/corners/all (evalType): How to set up and execute a Post Run Simulation OCEAN Script for ADE XL, Explorer, and Assembler simulations
