Help on getting net names and Instance names on a path untill sequential(DFF) circuit is found.

Hi Venu,

I think that Solution 11476064 may help you with this - basically from a net dbId you can get the instance terminals (instTerms) that are on the net, from this you can get to the instance dbId (inst) which will give you the instance name / cell name (name / cellName). For following the hierarchy you would need to open the appropriate schematic view - you may need a switch view list for this or perhaps you wish to follow a configuration (as built by the Hierarchy Editor) - the latter is slightly more complex, but I know that code has been written for that case also.  There may be other solutions in COS (Cadence Online Support), did you search?  If so, what terms did you put?  For my search I used "skill net hierarchy" and the solution was on the expanded first page (i.e. not amongst the first 4-5 results, but in the first 10).

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Lawrence.

 hi Lawrence,

                   Thank you for sharing your knowledge.  What is my requirement is I have digital circuit which is combination of combinational and sequential circuits. I would like to see the nets and gates on path which I selected. Output should be like this: Net9,AND,net12,OR,net13....( By looking this I can understand Net9 is i/p to AND gate and net12 is o/p of it which is going as i/p to the OR .......) . It should check hierarchy level also if it is block.

                   Is there any command to get o/p net of device(Combinational ckt). 

 I wrote below code which is not working properly. Actually I planned for top level check only.The hilighted code is for finding output net name of a device because I dont know simple command for getting it. I have problem with order of output nets and devices. And I need hierarchy level also.

instancesfornet=nil
outnets=nil
outnet=nil
procedure(FPSfindpaths(@optional 
    instid outnet
    (visited makeTable('visited nil)) )
if(outnet==nil
outnet=car(geGetSelSet())~>net~>name
)
mynet = dbFindNetByName(geGetEditCellView() outnet)

   sig =car(mynet~>signals)

foreach(mInstTrm sig~>memInstTerms
instancesfornet=cons(car(mInstTrm)~>inst instancesfornet)
   )
foreach(instid instancesfornet
unless(visited[instid]
visited[instid]=t
i=0
directions=instid~>instTerms~>direction
nets=instid~>instTerms~>net~>name
foreach(output directions
i++
v=strcmp(output "output")
if(v==0 then
i1=i
)

)
i=1
foreach(net nets
if(i1==i then 
outnet=net
outnets=append(list(outnet instid~>cellName) outnets)
)
i++
)


     outnet=FPSfindpaths(instid outnet visited)
    )
  )

foreach(name1 outnets
printf("   %s " name1))
outnets=nil
 outnet=nil
instancesfornet=nil
)

I still tring for this code. If any one knows code for what I need then please help me.
