Forcing an update of the netlist

ChrisEAS

Hi there.

I'm modifying my spectre netlist by setting a custom netlist formatter with the Skill function:

(asiSetNetlistFormatterClass tool 'myFormatter)

When I try to re-netlist afterwards using

(asiNetlist (asiGetCurrentSession))

the response is

The netlist is up to date.

Could you please gimme a hint how to force the netlister to rerun?

Thanks,

Chris

  • Chris,

    There is a private API to invalidate the netlist - but this is really for indicating that something needs updating (like model files, analysis statements and so on) - not the design itself.

    You could potentially modify the design (and do an schCheck too), but you'd have to change every cellView in the hierarchy because the incremental netlister only netlists the cellViews that have changed. So I'm not sure that's your best option.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
