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 Rodney,

    I am glad to hear that it is working. (Good job Andrew, it is still one of the most useful and frequently used bits of code I've seen)

    Yes, that is essentially the same solution though Andrew has updated it so the Solution date appears to be older, however there is a little more commentary in the Solution, so it is good to read both I think.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
