assign value to the variables!

imagesensor123

 Hi everyone,

     I have create a two deminationed array, I can get each value  by typing a[m][n] in CIW, and now, I want to assign these value to a lot of variables which are  parameters variable in my shematic, such as a transistor's length "M1_length", and i want to assign a[3][3]  to this variable, but when i try changing the varaibles value through typing a[3][3] in the expression field, it can't work corectlyin analogArtist(push the edit variable button in analogartist),does anyone who know how to do this. in a word, i want to assign a value careated in some function to the shematic primitive parameters variable. thanks

Regards,

  •  Hi everyone,

         does anyone know how to assign a value(store in value matrix,such as a[0][3]=0.5u) to the design variable like w1(width of a transistor), it want to do this by typing some command in CIW or using skill function. thanks

  • Zfeng,

    Asking the same question twice in different threads doesn't increase the likelihood of it being answered.

    If it's for an existing ADE session, you could use the SKILL function asiSetDesignVarList() (first argument should be the current session, for example asiGetCurrentSession() , and the second argument is the list of design variables and values - I suggest using asiGetDesignVarList() to figure out what it looks like). See the documentation on these features.

    If it's in an OCEAN script, you could simply do:

    desVar("varName" a[0][3])

  • Hi Andrew,
       thanks,in fact i want to do a parametric simulation, the sweep data is from a matrix which is create by some function in ADE session and stored in memory. I have tried the first method, i used the function asiAddDesignVarList() to update the existing variable value, but the accepted data is just "real value"(I think), because there is an error when i generate the nestlist after i assign a new value to an existing variable through asiAddDesignVarList("light" "a[0][3]") , it seems that the "a[0][3]" is passed to light not the value of the a[0][3] (0.5u). i can make sure the syntax is right, but i am not sure if this method can pass the value of a[0][3].
       about the second method, I will try later. sorry for asking the same question in two posts!

  • The problem is that you have quotes around the array expression.

    You'd have to do:

    asiAddDesignVarList(asiGetCurrentSession() list(list("light" aelSuffixNotation(a[0][3]))))

    Or similar. The aelSuffixNotation is just a way to convert the number to a string - could do that numerous ways.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  •  Hi Andrew,

        I have tryed your method, it work well for my purpose, i'am very appreciated of your help. 

    Thanks a lot!
