ocean run() recreates netlist

kkdesbois

Hello,

When using the ocean command run() after generating and manually modifyng the netlist, I observe that the netlist is recreated.
Is there a way to only run a simulation and not netlist&run?

Laurent.

  • Laurent,

    If you use design("/path/to/netlist/netlist") then the core design won't get re-netlisted. The input.scs does get regenerated (because it includes design variables, model references, analyses which are dependent upon what you've done in OCEAN), but if you edit the netlist file, it won't get recreated.

    Even if you use design(lib cell view) then it wouldn't normally recreate it unless something changed (as far as I know), but to be sure, using the design(pathToNetlist) form should avoid the problem.

    Hello Andrew,
    Thanks you for the answer.

    Actually, my description was wrong : the file I modify manually is input.scs and not netlist.
    So it makes sense that it is recreated by run().

    If I do my modifications inside netlist, they are included in the final simulation, even if I don't use design("/path/to/netlist/netlist") befor run()

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Laurent.
