    Specman which simulates 'e' can distinguish a Physical field by '%' sign placed in front of any field.

    A physical field is packed when the struct is packed.See following code.

    struct my_packet_s

     {

    %addr : uint (bits: 32); //This is Physical Field

    len : uint (bits: 2); //This is virtual field

    };

    Please refer e reference manual for more details.
