How to choose different section-endsection with a Global Variable in ADEXL?

Hi,

I am trying to run corner simulations(more than 100 let's say) and have more than one dspf files(extracted netllist) but I want to include only one of them depending on a Global variable.

Example: I have 2 vcos: one is LC-VCO and other is Ring-VCO  and I am muxing the output of these. I have vco_sel for mux control as Global variable. Depending on vco_sel, I want to choose to include either LC-VCO or Ring-VCO so that simulation runs faster.

I know that I can create different sections which include dspf files separately but I need to enable and disable corners separately and create many corners. And I can't run sweep for vco_sel in one simulation.

Is there a way to pass VAR("vco_sel") to the section/endsection of corner setup like a condition. I am open to any other solutions as well.

Thanks,

yayla

    If this was urgent, you should have created a case with customer support.

    The simple answer is "no".
