Import all cells from lib to schematic

zaratustra

I am characterizing the cells of several libraries for radiation hardening. I have a script that creates the testbench of a cell automatically, but for that, I need the spectre netlist of that cell. The technology has around 400 cells in each library, so import into the schematic and generate the netlist individually is very tiresome. Is it possible to export the netlist of all cells of a library into a single netlist file? I was thinking about using skill, but I'm not sure where to begin.

Each cell is located in technology/library_name/CADENCE/CDSOA/cell_name/(schematic, symbol, layout etc)

Thank you

    If you want to generate netlists of each, you could do:

    simulator('spectre)
    libName="CDSOA"
    lib=ddGetObj(libName)
    foreach(cell lib~>cells
      when(ddGetObj(libName cell~>name "schematic")
        design(libName cell~>name "schematic")
        ; may or may not want this - not sure what your needs are:
        envOption('setTopLevelAsSubckt t)
        createNetlist(?display nil)
      )
    )

    In each of the netlist directories, it's probably the "netlist" file you want rather than input.scs (you don't want the other analysis stuff around it).
