How to assign the multiplicity factor a pPar() parameter ?

ItsMichael

Hello everyone,

I want to apply a multiplicity factor to a cell (for simulation only) that should Inherit the m-factor from a parent parameter.
Thus I have added an "m" parameter to the cell and gave it the value: pPar("HSIZE").
When running the simulation, I get the error: "The value for the multiplicity factor `m' should evaluate to a number."

Looking at the produced netlist, for some reason the netlister took the pPar("HSIZE") literally instead as a parameter and placed it directly into the netlist (instead of using an actual parameter like usual [_par0 etc]).

I'm pretty sure I have done this before without any issues.

Is there any solution for this ? or workaround ? (I would like to avoid using "global" parameters)

  • Ok I have just sold it, instead of deleting the question I'll just answer my own question here for future reference.

    The way I have added the "m" parameter was to manually add it as the instance property.
    Now I have added it as a "proper" CDF parameter and made sure to mark yes for "parse as number" and "parse as CEL".
    I guess these two are set to "no" when the "m" parameter is added not through the EDIT CDF form.
