How to change the simulator via skill in ADE-L?

Hi All

I am currently writing a script to export the necessary input files for the amsd block in the AMS simulation.

On the other hand, I need some pre-configuration through the config file to get the right schematic view in the final netlist.

When config is used for ADE-L, it has tendency to use "ams" as the simulator. Then the netlist is in the verilog-ams syntax.

In order to have netlist in spectre syntax, I need to change the simulator to "spectre".  And I want this is automatically done.

While going through the skill reference for ADE-L, it seems the simulator is referred as "tool". And ADE-L session is created from the tool.

And unfortunately, I did not find an API to switch the tool for a session.

Does anyone have a clue for changing the simulator with skill?

Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Yi
