Automatically switch between "sparameter" view and "rfm" view

amitG22

Hello Community, 

When I generate sparameter files through EMX, EMX generates the sparameter views that is basically a touchstone file. There is in essence no separate schematic with a nport component. This works well except when you want to run transient simulation. Then, spectre tries to generate bbspice models for all these sparameter views. Now, I don't want spectre to generate its own models (why not is not relevant for my question). I want to generate my own RFM models and want spectre to use them during transient simulation without creating a separate schematic with a nport component and pointing to a rfm file. This is tedious and doesn't scale well when you are working on a big project. 


My question is : Is it possible to do this with spectre in an elegant manner instead of all the tedious manual work? 

A snapshot of the view generated by EMX : 


If it indeed turns out that its possible to "hack" the normal WoW and force spectre to use my own RFM models then the following information may be handy : In the linux directory structure, I have a folder that is exactly the same as the name of the sparameter view. Within it, next to the sparam.snp file I have placed my sparam.rfm file. 

Thanks in advance for all your tips/tricks and suggestions. 

Regards,
Amit
