cycle through a number of configs in a test bench

HansB

Hi All,

I have a SKILL script that executes and post-processes some simulations on a test bench using ADE-L.

The test bench is defined by design(dir cell view). 

I want to  execute different (pre-defined) configs  by sequentially substituting the "view" using a list and a foreach() loop.

I then run into the issue that when executing design(dir cell view) with the next config seems to reset the whole object and all data associated with the (previous) design definition is lost and needs to be set again.

Since I have, however, no need to change anything else than the view I was wondering if there is another way of assigning an alternate view while maintaining all other data (like designVarList, Analysis and Options).

For example, I can get  the view name asiGetDesignViewName( asiGetCurrentSession())  but there is no complementary asiSetDesignViewName( asiGetCurrentSession()).

  • Hi Hans,

    No, setting the design essentially initialises the ADE (or OCEAN) session. You have to call the same functions to set up the analyses, design variables and so on.

    ADE XL (and Assembler) have the idea of "config sweep" variables, but even these can only sweep the view of a design under test rather than the top level test bench. So that's not quite what you want either.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
