Generate Netlist from the Command Line

MenghanSun
MenghanSun over 9 years ago

Dear all,

I'm trying generate netlist from command line:

I used the following commands in CIW window:

simulator( 'spectre )

design( "libname" "cellname" "viewname")

createNetlist( ?recreateAll t)

It does generate the netlist, it didn't generate it in the directory I want:

it generates the netlist in the following directory:

/home/elecpg/menghansun/simulation/diffRecSim/spectre/schematic/netlist/netlist


I wish to generate the netlist in:

/d2/data/GFBCD013/013BCDlite/CDS/DL-000024/Rev14/OA/1P6M_9kA_1k_1p0f_SM/simulation/diffRecSim/spectre/schematic/netlist/netlist

/home/elecpg/menghansun is the home directory on the system, it seems to me that cadence wants to do all the things in this home drectory, for example, it always creates its CDS.log in its home directory.

Is there a way to generate netlist into the directory that we specify?

And, does the way I do this seem to be a reasonable way?

Thanks,

Menghan Sun

    At the beginning, set:

    envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "projectDir" 'string "/d2/data/GFBCD013/013BCDlite/CDS/DL-000024/Rev14/OA/1P6M_9kA_1k_1p0f_SM/simulation")

    Other than that, it looks fine.

    Andrew.
