Good strategy to make ADE simulations fully producible?

StephanWeber

Hi,

often you change something (dspf filke, schematic, testbench, variable, etc,.) and some trouble begins. So one good method is to go back to the last setup that works. In ADE this is possible by using "Load setup to active".

However, this works only for changes related to ADE itself, e.g. not if an external include file (model, dspf, unix variable,..) has changed or has been deleted.

Is there a good strategy to make sure that something great like "Load setup to active" even works if external things have changed?

How can I make a snapshot of everything necessary to run the old ADE setup again? I remember old ADE has a runSim batch file.

Or to see what has changed (causing now the problems)?

My current problem is that indeed some references like to dspf files have changed, but running the old state now gives me no clear error message, so that the debugging becomes trial & error.

Bye Stephan

  • Stephan,

    This is the kind of thing that could be done with a well-defined design management strategy using a DM tool such as Dassault MatrixOne DesignSync, IC Manage, Keysight/Cliosoft SOS, Perforce VersIC or IBM ClearCase. You don't have to only manage the Virtuoso library data but could also manage the other files in your environment to allow you to revert to some older configuration of data.
