Exit after a simulation is complete

Jonty
Jonty over 3 years ago

Hi,

I am running simulation from a skill script using the following command, and I am using the command "virtuoso -nocdsinit -nographE -restore mySkill.il" to load the SKILL script. 

maeRunSimulation(?session sn )

I want to exit from the virtuoso prompt after simulation is complete, but when I use "exit" after the above command, the script exits before the simulation is complete. 

Is there a fail-safe way to exit virtuoso after completing the simulation?

Thank you!

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your response. A follow-up question related to my next step: I want to export a few waveforms that are the results of "expressions" into csv file for further processing (As I understand, these aren't part of the results database like the net-based waveforms). 

    I am using awvSaveToCSV() but it doesn't provide information about the X and Y units. I also came across your script from the post below which works well. Has there been any update to that script ?

    That's the latest version of that code.

    Regards,
