ocean : openResults() function

Hi,

I'm trying to load some fsdb files using openResults in Ocean, but I am unable to do so.
I am able to read fsdb in Viva GUI mode, Is there a way I can plot fsdb waveforms in OCEAN.

Thanks

    If the FSDB file was created via spectre, then there should be a logFile in the results directory which referenced this, in which case you would use:

    openResults("/path/to/psf")

    and then the results database (e.g. tran.tran.fsdb) would just show up as the "tran" results as usual.

    If the FSDB file is separate from a directory containing logFile you can open it too with openResults:

    openResults("stuff/stuff.fsdb")
    WARNING (OCN-6096): Could not determine simulator from runObjFile/logFile under stuff/stuff.fsdb.
    Calculator data access functions (e.g., VT, IT, etc.) will not work.
    However, ocean data access functions (e.g., v, i, getData, etc.) will work.
    "stuff/stuff.fsdb"
    results()
    ("stuff")
    selectResult("stuff")
    outputs() ; will output the list of signals

    In essence, you will get a result matching the name of the file.

    Hope that helps!

    Andrew
