exiting an ocean session in the CIW

markbeck

I'm trying to create an external netlist with a skill script and the only way that I know how to do this is to issue the following commands:

simulator('spectre)
design(t_lib t_cell t_view)
netlistDir("/some/directory/path")
createNetlist()

This works fine, but if I don't issue the run() command, the CIW thinks that I'm still in an ocean session. I can't issue an exit() command because the CIW interprents this as "exit virtuoso".  

Does anyone out there know how to exit an interactive ocean session in the CIW without issuing a 'run()' command?

Thanks,
Mark

    Mark,

    The only way to do this (that I know of) in IC5141 is to use a private SKILL function. Actually just discovered that even the private way breaks things, so I definitely won't be suggesting that! Why do you need to close the OCEAN session? It shouldn't cause any problems for running things in IC5141 if the session is still active.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
