 Hi,

    i don't know how cadence do the following job, but it is really useful for designers.

   i noticed that there are lots of menus in ADE window, such as "setup" "tools" and so on. i have developped a new form, and i know we can use the hiCreateFormWindow to attach a form to a window with menus.  i think a form will turn up if you push the "setup" menu in ADE window, and user can set some opinions . so the problem is that how can we save the change ,and i find a file name si.env under every design folder, we can see the following contents in that file:

simLibName = "zhenfu"
simCellName = "pdpixel"
simViewName = "schematic"
simSimulator = "spectre"
simNotIncremental = nil
simReNetlistAll = 't
simViewList = '("spectre" "cmos_sch" "schematic" "veriloga")
simStopList = '("spectre" "ahdl" "veriloga")
simNetlistHier = 't
nlFormatterClass = 'spectreFormatter
nlCreateAmap = 't
nlDesignVarNameList = '("rstWidth" "delay" "width" "power" "period" "cpix" "w4" "w3" "w2" "w1" "vbias" "tperiod" "l4" "l3" "l2" "l1")
simViewList = '("spectre" "cmos_sch" "schematic" "veriloga")
simStopList = '("spectre" "ahdl" "veriloga")
simNetlistHier = t 

so how can we generate this file and how does it work?

welcome to any suggestion, thanks!

Regards,

zfeng

    Zfeng,

    Your question doesn't make an enormous amount of sense to me, and I'm not sure what you're actually trying to achieve here.

    When you interact with the forms in ADE, these store data in some internal data structures. These can be committed to disk with Session->Save State, and restored using Session->Load State.

    During various parts of the flow, various additional files will get created on a transient basis - for example, the si.env file gets created as part of the netlist creation. It contains information needed to initialise the netlist. Whenever you do a Netlist or Netlist and Run operation it will get created. Not sure why you would care though...
