How to write a skill script that will run dc analysis on schematic

Sattiwk

I have to automate an algorithm where I need to run a series of analyses on a given schematic. Can anyone help me out with the code? Also I want to know, from where can I learn about such functions by which I can get the simulator work the way we usually do in GUI?

To be precise, I need to run dc analysis and HB analysis on a schematic given by user as input. I want to write a skill function that will take the address of the schematic and some destination folder as the input arguments. After executing the code, I want the results to be stored in the destination folder. Please  help me out with this.

I am using Cadence VirtuosoA 6.1.7-64b.500.3  version.

I am new to this field and this is my first post, so apologies if I have committed any mistakes.

    The simplest is to use the OCEAN functions (a set of simple SKILL functions for automating analog simulations) and the easiest way to get started with those would be to use Session->Save OCEAN Script from ADE L or ADE Explorer and then you can see the relevant functions. More details can be found in the OCEAN Reference Manual (you can easily find this by using any Help menu in Virtuoso, and typing in "OCEAN" in the search box at the top of the menu).
