how to get the simulation net name from schematic name

Hi there,

How can I get the simulation net name from schematic name.

On short: I have a net name "net10(3)" in schematic, I've noticed that in a custom simulator is is renamed as "NET10<3>" .

The idea is that at the end of simulation I have to parse some state files saved by the simulator at different moments and to read the voltages associated with some nets.

So I nee a kind of mapping netSchName => netSimName .

BR,

Marcel

    Hi Marcel,

    asiMapNetName(asiGetDataDir(asiGetCurrentSession()) list("/I7/net10(3)"))

    In other words, you give it a list of the hierarchical schematic net name, and it returns a list of the mapped net name. It needs the "data dir" which is the directory above the netlist and psf dir.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks Andrew,

    I was using the same procedure, but my net was on top and I didn't put the "/" in front of the net name and because of that the procedure was always return the same name.it is confusing, I would prefer a nil (a kind of net does not exists).

    asiMapNetName(asiGetDataDir(asiGetCurrentSession()) list("net10(3)"))
    ("net10(3)")

    When I saw your example I was thinking to put "/" as prefix

    asiMapNetName(asiGetDataDir(asiGetCurrentSession()) list("/net10(3)"))
    ("NET10<3>")

    BR,

    Marcel
