Using a Design Variable in an input.scs File

Cachi

Hello,

I am using an older version of Cadence which doesn't allow to use a design variable for a dc sweep analysis from the "Choosing Analysis" menu in ADE. So I wrote my own hysteretic dc sweep input.scs file in which I would like to use a design variable. But I do not know the correct syntax. I have tried the syntax used in Ocean scripts: desVar("vref") but that does not work.

 I'd appreciate your help on this.

Thank you.

    Hello Andrew,

    I saw that you are very familiar with Cadence. I have a problem for Veriglog A in Cadence, I hope you can help me. In fact I need to elaborate a stochastic model by coding in Verilog A executed under Cadence. My aim is to offer a medel with which the customers can do the Monte Carlo Analysis. But I used the functions like "$random", "$temperature" etc. to generate a seed for obtaining a parameter which changes each time of simulation. But finally it changes just according to the real time of simulation, but not according to different times of simulation. Do you have any experiences like this? Thank you for you response. 

    Best regards,

    UU
