reinvoking from the tcl shell

freitas

Hello,

I'd like to reinvoke the simulation using a tcl script. Is this possible? What's the tcl command to re-invoke the simulation?

Actually, I would like a script that runs a preamble command to update the simulation options contained in the irun.f file before re-starting the simulation. That would allow me to re-start the simulation with new options without leaving simvision. 

Is this feasible?

thanks

 

  • Hi,

    Yes, this is possible.

    Since reinvoke is a SimVision operation, you need to execute SimVision commands in order
    to execute it. 

    Here is a set of commented SimVision commands to do this, including copying over
    a modified irun.f file.  You could define a custom toolbar button to invoke these commands.


     # Need to disable opening the reinvoke dialog when reinvoking via a script.
    preferences set prompt-on-reinvoke 0

    # Replace these file names with yours.
    set from_file "irun_mod.f"
    set to_file "irun.f"
    exec cp -f $from_file $to_file

    # reinvoke via the Design Browser.  (Assumes this window is still available.)
    window invoke "Design Browser 1" Simulation>ReinvokeSimulator

    # Set the preference back.
    preferences set prompt-on-reinvoke 1


    Good luck...

    - Doug

  • It works as a charm! Thanks a lot!
