Get simulation state name of an ADE-L session

Volker T
Volker T over 5 years ago

Dear all,

I would like to get the simulation state's name of a loaded session in ADE-L using SKILL. There are functions like asiGetDesignLibName(), asiGetDesignCellName() and asiGetDesignViewName(), delivering, for example "ahdlLib", "testbench_opamp" and "schematic", respectoively. Yet there does not seem to be a function returning the name of the saved ADE state that has been (re-)loaded into ADE-L, like "spectre_state1".

What I can find is a generic name (e.g. "spectre6"), like

o_session = asiGetCurrentSession( )

o_session~>name

, but not that of the user-defined state name.

Is there any way to determine this name in an easy manner?

Thank you.

    The trouble is that this is not something that is truly persistent (it's not a locked view, like it is with ADE XL/Explorer/Assembler), although ADE does remember it in the "sev" layer. So if you find the "sev" session of the ADE window:

    sevSess=sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow())
    sevSess->stateName

    will tell you the last loaded state name.

    Andrew.
