    There are multiple ways to do this. If you want to view / edit / translate the .ibs file prior to use in PCB SI, I would suggest Model Integrity. There is a batch translation utility ibis2signoise. Also, if you're using 16.3, there is a flow where you can access and manage the .ibis file directly through the Model Browser in either PCB SI or SigXplorer.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the information.

    I've some more doubts about this topic.

    Is there any specific path to save the .ibs file/dml file?Is it the same path that the .brd file exists?

    Thanks in advance,

    When operating in the tool suite, new models are saved in your working library. By default, this is named "devices.dml" and located in the current directory.

    Hi Dennis,

    Thankyou for your kind information.

    I need to clarify some more doubts related to the addition of the local library.

    1. Is it really needed to add a local .ndx file in the working folder other than the cadence default library?
    2. How to add the files in the default .ndx file to the locally created .ndx files/.dml files along with the models in the local .dml file?
