getting your final netlist with sevNetlistFile

swdesigner

I see some old posts related to this. Not sure where we are today. Here's what I'm trying to do :

Generate a netlist in batch mode; generate the runSimulation file; copy the run directory; launch the sim in the copy directory with the runSimulation command. Problem is that that ocean script you get from ADE > Session > Save Ocean Script is totally inadequate.

I started off with createNetlist(?recreateAll t) but found that not all components of the design were showing in the netlist directory. Worst of all, no runSimulation file.

I searched support and found runams -netlist. But the note says it doesn't work for cellview based netlisting, only OSS.

Luckily, support also had something on  asiGetSimulationRunCommand.

This led me to sevNetlistFile. Unfortunately, when I try this

sess=asiGetCurrentSession()
sevNetlistFile(sess 'recreate)

Loading simui.cxt
*Error* slotValue: no such slot - simID

Any suggestions?

  • A few points/questions:

    1. What is "totally inadequate" about the Save OCEAN Script?
    2. If the createNetlist(?recreateAll t) is missing things, then netlisting from ADE would also be missing things - and so any attempt to use sevNetlistFile would fail (I would expect). I'd want to understand why anything is missing...
    3. It is not really supported to use the "runSimulation" script yourself (although that's primarily for "interactive" mode - it puts a comment in the runSimulation file to this effect).
    4. sevNetlistFile() doesn't create the runSimulation script anyway.
    5. The reason why it fails is because sevNetlistFile is expecting a "sev" session, as returned by sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()) rather than an "asi" session.
