ADE including a simulation file with a relative path

Huf
Huf over 1 year ago

Hi,

I'd like to include a (spectre syntax) simulation file to one of my tests (in ADE Explorer or Assembler), but WITHOUT referring to it by its absolute path

The reason behind this is that all designers here don't have the same paths. Also, I want this file to be part of our data management scheme so that if someone else checks out this testbench, that person will get the simulation file with the checked out package.

It then would sound convenient to place this file somewhere in the /maestro folder (or subfolders) of the testbench I use.

But how can I refer to this location in a relative way, in the Simulations Files Setup GUI ?

My ADE is set up so in a way that the Options / Save / ADE Assembler Results Database Location is "libs"

So all the maestro files go in a /MyCadencePath/libs/lib_name/cell_name/maestro (ADE then automatically suffixes the libs folder with lib_name/cell_name, and that's of course OK with me)

The question is then, how in the Simulations Files Setup GUI can I refer to my  /MyCadencePath/libs/lib_name/cell_name/maestro/spectre_file.scs but by using a relative path and not an absolute one ?

Thank you
