How to not netlist a certain symbol

alainmelan

 Good day!

I want to make library that when added to schematic, the instances are not netlisted during spectre simulation.

The symbols does not have models and are designed for CDF parameter extraction only.

 

I have a reference LIBRARY with this property but I can not find out how it was implemented.

I tried to compare the CDF properties of the refrence and the NEW library I created and they are the same.

Even having the same CDF properties, my NEW library still netlists the symbols.

Is there anyone out there who could help me with this problem?

    Simplest way is to open the spectre view of your component (the stopping view) and add a cellView property (string type) called "nlAction" with value "ignore".

    Andrew.

    No wonder I could not find it CDF parameters. I thought leaving the netlistProcedure blank was enough.

    Tried it already and it worked perfectly fine.

     

    Thank you very much.
