Display Top Ranked Results from Text File in Assembler Output Tab

HongJian

Hi,

After running certain flows, a space-separated text file is generated containing results. I would like to:

  1. Read this file,

  2. Process the data into a structured table,

  3. Rank the entries based on one of the columns (e.g., error, margin, delay), and

  4. Display the top-ranked values in the Results tab of the Virtuoso Assembler, ideally using expressions in the Output Setup.

So far, I came across this post Open Simulation Output Text Files When Maestro Simulation is Completed, which covers a somewhat similar need, but my use case is slightly different — I’m specifically looking to integrate custom post-processed results into the Assembler UI as if they were simulation outputs.

I’m wondering:

  • Is this achievable via SKILL, Ocean, or another mechanism?

  • Are there any recommended functions, hooks, or RAKs that help bridge external result files into the Assembler's result display?

  • How can I make this automatic after each run?

Any guidance or examples would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
