Need help about How to switch config in the ocean pre run flow?

Background: In the pre run flow, I need to simulate another large design to get some info. It is preferred that this large design is not part of the actual simulation. I think it is possible but not sure that I can put that design into another testbench scheamtic, let's say scheamtic_A and have my actual testbench schematic as scheamtic_B.

I looked into the export oceanscript from maestro. I spotted a few lines that might be relevant:

  • ocnxlBeginTest(" xxx")
  • design( "lib" "cell" "config")
  • ocnxlEndTest(" xxx")
  • analysis('dc blablalba )

There are a few things that I am not sure:

1. Is this the right flow?

2. When executing ocnxlRunCalibration() in the 2nd part, is only ac or both hb and ac simulations are going to be performed? What if I only want to run ac simulation for the 2nd part.

    I'd suggest reading this: Techniques for Simulating Calibrated Circuits with Virtuoso ADE Assembler

    That covers a variety of ways of handling calibration - including calcVal between tests, run plans, and pre-run scripts. Hopefully that will answer your question (the form is not quite as you've described it, but start with the rapid adoption kit and see if you have unanswered questions after reading that).
