Importing the waveform (.tran) file in any format in another test bench to run the simulation?

Hi, 

I was wondering if I can import a current waveform of a huge block into another test bench as the output loading and then run the simulations using that waveform? 

Regards,

Med

    Yes.  If I understand your question correctly, this is discussed in many On-line support articles - including specifying a compressed version of the data file (gzip) for large data files. In essence, if you export the current waveform from your initial simulation in one of numerous supported formats (include ASCII formats or spectre formats), you can use that file as a pwl input to an analogLib vsource or isource. One of many articles that details how to include the pwl file in an analogLib vsource or isource is at URL:
