Find Instances That Used a Design Variable

archive

Hello,
I've been trying get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design via a SKILL script. It is like the "Variable -> Find" command in an Analog Artist, but it search for only one instance. If possible I would like to get a list of instances.

I know how to get a list of design variables used in a design,
asiGetDesignVarList( session )

Is there a direct command or a script to get a list of instances that used a design variable in a design?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Gilbert

  •  Hello,

    I have project about migrating our simulation tools from IC5141 to IC6.1. I have problem on extraction of design variable from schematic.

    In IC5141, we can extract the design variable list using the the following command:

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

    simulator('spectreS)

    design(LIB CELL VIEW)

    session = asiGetCurrentSession()

    lstDesignVariable = asiGetDesignVarList(session)

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

    I know socket simulation is no longer supported in IC6.1 but when i changed the simulator to 'spectre.

    The return of asiGetDesignVarList is always nil.

    I found the hidden file of design variable from netlistDir() but our tools used many schematic and it's inconvinience to user if everytime he/she input the schematic temporary netlist is created. This idea is not a good idea.

    Is there anyone know what the SKILL command for extracting design variable in IC6.1?

    Thanks in advance.
