how to get the physical model or model description of an element?

A question has bothered a lot, when I using "Vsource" which is from 'rfLib' library to run an ACPR, but I don't know how to set the element value of 'vsource', my question is how to get a help document about the elements in the rfLib library

    Dear Brutto123,

     I believe the vsource element referred to is actually from the analogLib. There is an rFvsource that is referred to in the spectreRF manual, and it is detailed in the RF components manual.

    You can access these documents on Sourcelink as follows:

    analogLib Documentation: support1.cadence.com/.../analoglibref.pdf

    RF Analysis Documentation: support1.cadence.com/.../spectreRFinExplorer.pdf

    RF Library: support1.cadence.com/.../rflibrary.pdf

    They should also be in your installation path. for example <your_install_dir>/tools/dfII/etc/cdslib/artist/analogLib

    You can probbaly find your spectre install directory with the following UNIX command to examine which environmental variables contain "spectre".

     env | grep -i spectre

     I hope this helps...

    Shawn

    Thanks Shawn.

    The same documents can be found if you run <ICinstDir>/tools/bin/cdnshelp or by looking in <ICinstDir>/doc

    Note that it's the installation that contains virtuoso, not the one that contains spectre. Normally you can use "cds_root virtuoso" to find that (unless you have wrapper scripts around virtuoso, that is).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
