Cadence Virtuoso Simulink Co-simulation

Yes, that's still supported. The video talks about this being between spectre and simulink (which does also exist) but what you're actually seeing in that video is a AMS-Simulink co-simulation. I gave a presentation together with the MathWorks which covered this at CDNLive EMEA in 2016, and there's a video of the same content at https://www.cadence.com/content/cadence-www/global/en_US/home/tools/custom-ic-analog-rf-design/circuit-design/virtuoso-ade-product-suite/mathworks-integration.html  (this is a longer presentation and video showing various ways the products from the two companies work together).

This is in the documentation for the AMS Designer Environment - you can find it at <ICinstDir>/doc/amsdMatSim/amsdMatSim.pdf

Hi, 

is the "AMS Designer Environment" necessary to make the link between Simulink and Virtuoso? do I need this tool in addition of Virtuoso? 
as I understood we only need Matlab and Virtuoso IC design to be installed on the same Linux, but I didn't understand in which tool I do this schematic:

is this inside simulink? the icon doesn't look like simulink icon.
I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks

Hi Firas,

That schematic is a simulink schematic. The Cadence coupler is something we provide - it's covered in our documentation. The simulation is normally done using AMS Designer (so the coupling is between an AMS simulation,  usually run in ADE, and Simulink). There is also an interface between Spectre and Simulink directly but the AMS interface is more commonly used.

Thanks Andrew, 
I have a more clear picture now. I the documentation files in the virtuoso path finally and I'm trying to make the virtuoso and matlab talk to each other.
currently I'm using: IC6.1.7-64b.500.15 , and 2014b Matlab. 
the last update for virtuoso in our university is cadence90, and I took the documentation files from there in order to be the last updated. but i'm actually working with an older cadence version which is 67. 
i'd like to know if there is a problem with these versions.

on the other hand, i'm trying to simulate one of the examples in your documentation, but somehow I can't get the simulink recognize the AMS designer Library, I see that some files are locked and SimulinkCoupler module can't get updated, here is a pictue:

I'd like to know also if there is a customer support for this issue. 
thanks

I don't know what you mean by "cadence90" or "67" - you already mentioned you're using IC6.1.7-64b.500.15 (ISR15).

Anyway, I'd suggest you contact customer support over this through your organisation's support channel (either Europractice or through your University's designated program organiser).
