Change Model Path in ADE L state by Skill

There's not really any clean way of doing this apart from loading in ADE and fixing them. Would be a useful capability though, so you might want to contact customer support and request an enhancement.

In the short term, one possibility is to change the default (using either envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "/new/setup/paths/etc") or using the asiSetEnvOptionVal(asiGetTool('spectre) "modelFiles" list(...)) approach often used in PDKs), and then set this cdsenv:

envSetVal("asimenv.loadstate" "modelSetup"  'boolean nil)

What that will do is get the model setup to be turned off by default on the load state form, and so it will then pick up the default rather than what is stored in the state file. Not perfect, but may be a start...

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew, I filed an enhancement request!

In the meantime I will try to implement your suggestion :)

 Hi mkaragou,

I have modified my script  to make it more fully skill (not calling any shell 'sed' modification).It goes into the states of the current cellview. and change expanded directory into a environnement variable.

ei . : /localRep/kit/ams/spectre/c35/cmos53.scs into $AMS_DIR/spectre/c35/cmos53.scs

I agree with Andrew though, that would be nice that PDK will be allways using global vars in .cdsinit like :

envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "$IBM_PDK/IBM_PDK/cmrf8sf/relDM/Spectre/models/allModels.scs;tt" )

However, here come my fixState.il (currently only for IBM and AMS). (with no warranties ; )  : it could fail if you have strange names in the path of your files. Thanks to this little exercise, I finally understood the difference between foreach(mapcar and foreach(mapcan.

Hope it helps
