Skill command to check to an instance of pcell got PcellEvalFailed.

Hi,

I searched the Cadence Manual but I can't find the right command/solution to check if a pcell instance got PcellEvalFailed.

Please help.

    Actually, pcellEvalFailed messages are added using "old school" markers (i.e. a shape on the marker/error layer) rather than using OA markers.

    car(exists(lpp car(geGetSelSet())~>master~>lpps lpp~>layerName=="marker" && lpp~>purpose=="error"))~>shapes

    If this is non-nil, there are shapes on the marker/error layer. You can do the above with ~>errorDesc on the end to get the description of the error:

    car(exists(lpp car(geGetSelSet())~>master~>lpps lpp~>layerName=="marker" && lpp~>purpose=="error"))~>shapes~>errorDesc

     ("(\"quotient\" 0 t nil (\"*Error* quotient: Attempted to divide by zero\" (0 0)))")

    (for example).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
