Replacing ADE-L variables

ASICnm

Hello all,

I have several variables from transistor parameters in my design, and I want to hardcode them, before I start doing the layout. My script makes a copy of original schematics first, and then needs to replace the values assigned to variables in ADE-L window, to all those parameters.

Could someone hint how to read the ADE variables and replace the transistor parameter with their value. I start the script like this:

---------------------------------------

;; open original schematic

cvId = dbOpenCellViewByType(myLibName myCvName myViewName)

dbCopyCellView(cvId myLibName myCvName newViewName nil nil t)

;; create a new schematic copy

cvId2 = dbOpenCellViewByType(myLibName myCvName newViewName)

 instId=cvId->instances

;; the following might give me length in my PDK:

car(car(instId~>prop~>value))  ;; e.g. get length

;; now pick up ADE variables 

 

--------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance,

 

 

  • Ok, that got solved, just needed to find this function to proceed with the rest.

    (asiGetDesignVarList (asiGetCurrentSession))

    Ofcourse further processing is required.

    As a beginner it is often hard to locate the functions..
