Update P-Cell calculations

Hi,

 

I'm trying to write a skill script to update pcell parameters for a schematic, and then run a simulation.

 

With help of forums so far, I've been able to get to updating the parameter width parameter:

cv = dbOpenCellViewByType("afe" "amplifer2" "schematic" "" "a")
inst=dbFindAnyInstByName(cv "M5")
inst->w="34u"
schCheck(cv)
dbSave(cv)
dbClose(cv)
 

 However, is there a way to force the instance to execute its pcell callback to update all the other parameters than depend on "w"?

 

Thanks!

 

Rodney

     Hi Lawrence,

     I'm using the skill code from 

    http://groups.google.com/group/comp.cad.cadence/msg/4dae4e6c08b6278d?&q=trigger+callback

     I should have the sourceLink solutions after our sys admin can log in and grab them, but your post pointed me in the right direction, and its working perfectly.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
