Is there anyway to lock the schematic view and make it invisible?

Hi ,

I am looking for a skill command that can make the schematic view invisible and only the symbol visible?

One way is to use hspice sub circuit encrypted.

But every time that I intend to run the ADE simulation I have to upload the .scs file. So I am wondering if there is a way around it to automate it as much as possible.

Regards,

Lavanya

    Hi Lavanya,

    I'm not sure what this means. If you are hoping to have an invisible schematic to protect your IP somehow, that's not going to work. You can't encrypt the schematic database (if that's what you're asking).

    You're also talking about encrypted hspice sub circuits, and then talking about ".scs" files (which are for Spectre).

    So what are you actually trying to do?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for clarifying the schematic encryption.

    Now, Is there anyway we can automate adding .scs files everytime we invoke an ADE.

    Regards,

    You can save the setup in an ADE state, or a maestro view? It's not clear what you're trying to do, or what these files that needed to be added every time are for?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I am trying to write a skill script that adds the .scs files in the model libraries in the ADE.

    The scs file is the encrypted file generated by spectre_encrypt.
