testing

Hi there,

This post is more a test.
I'm trying to start a thread in this forum, but no success.

Either my message is to big, or something else (e.g. I've try some text formatting) but when I push Post the the page is "thinking", see attachment.


I've try it in Chrome and Edge browsers, I've wait almost half hour, noting is happening.
Some advice, should I skip text formatting?

Thank you,

Marcel

  • Marcel,

    I don't see an attachment, and also I see another thread that was posted by you with a second post. I suspect it was a temporary glitch (there have been a few of these recently; I'm hoping they'll get resolved along with the image uploading issues when we do an upgrade of the forum software; not sure when that will happen though).

  • Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for reply.

    Unfortunately the screenshot attachment didn't work too.

    Now if I edit the initial message of this thread and try to attach the screenshot I get a error message
    "An error occurred. Please try again or contact your administrator." 

    But on short: after I've press "Post" button to start the thread I've got the spinning/thinking/progress_indicator dots but message not submitted.

    Then I've started the other thread, but I had to split the intended message in two parts: 
    - describing the problem.
    - spectre options (as reply)

    Without splitting it, the message was not posted.


    Thanks,
    Marcel

  • Hi Marcel,

    Not sure what's going on - I've asked our IT to take a look.

  • I'll move this to the Feedback, Suggestions and Questions forums to avoid making too much noise for others.

  •  IT asked me how big was the file you were trying to upload? There's a 2MB limit and exceeding this can cause issues similar to what you described. I'm not sure that's entirely it, because that would only be relevant if you were adding the attachment and I'm not sure that's the only thing you tried?

  • Hi Andrew,

    The screenshot was just a ~ 4kb png file.

    I've try to add it again on this reply.
    The same message: "An error occurred. Please try again or contact your administrator." 

    My initial problem was related to this question community.cadence.com/.../spectre-nodes-info-pin-names-different-than-what-is-in-schematic-or-input-scsspectre nodes info: pin names different than what is in schematic or input.scs 

    On that I didn't had any attachment.

    I was trying just some text formatting (inline code blocks) to make it readable.
    In the end I had to split it in the original message.
    Maybe there is a limit to the body message or it has some special (html) chars

    Hi *,
    
    I'm trying to get the instances connectivity through hierarchy, the mapping hier.inst_name:pin -> hier.net_name
    
    I'm using the "info what=nodes"
    
    It works, but I have two problems with some device models (the real model names were hidden, so I've use "abc", "xyz", ...)
    
    #1 issue -  for some devices instead of pin names in nodes.info, I get the the pin numbers.
    It seems to happen for all capacitor and resistor types.
    
    capacitor: C0 of zzz
               1 : net392
               2 : 0
    Instead of "1", "2" preferable to have "p", "n".
    
    #2 - Some devices  are netlisted in input scs as caps  C2 (net1 0 v_pwell) xyz value=11f wlratio=1 but on the nodes.info file I get a different type and a numbers of pins.
    
    bsim4: C2 of abc
              d : 0
              g : net1
              s : 0
              b : 0
    I've had a look in the model files and the reason is that xyz 3 pins capacitor model is derived from a MOS card model (bsim4), like below (xyz -> xyz_p -> abc card model) :
    xyz (p n b) xyz_p  ...
    * ... 
    * ...
    ends xyz
    
    xyz_p (n p n n) abc ...
    *...
    *...
    ends xyz_p
    
    
    
    abc (d g s b) abc_modelcard l=l w=w ad=ad as=as pd=pd ps=ps nrd=nrd nrs=nrs trise=trise
    
    ends abc
    
    model abc_modelcard bsim4 ....
    
    
    Below are the spectre simulator options.
    
    simulatorOptions options psfversion="1.4.0" reltol=1e-2 vabstol=1e-4 \
    
        iabstol=1e-10 temp=27 tnom=27 scalem=1.0 scale=1.0 gmin=1e-12 rforce=1 \
        note=yes maxnotes=5 warn=yes maxwarns=5 digits=5 cols=80 pivrel=1e-3 \
        sensfile="../psf/sens.output" checklimitdest=file \
        inlinesubcktcurrent=subckt useterms=name 
    tran tran stop=100n write="spectre.ic" writefinal="spectre.fc" \
        method=euler annotate=status maxiters=20 
    subckts info what=subckts where=rawfile
    designParamVals info what=parameters where=rawfile
    asserts info what=assert where=rawfile
    nodes_2 info what=nodes where=file
    terminals info what=terminals where=file
    saveOptions options save=all currents=all subcktprobelvl=3
    
    
    Is there any option to get the pin names as they are in the .scs ?
    for caps/res to get (p n)
    for the other to get the pins from "top" model , e.g "(p n b) of xyz" insetad of "(d g s b) of abc" 
    
    Preferable some other spectre param/option , and then to parse 1-2 files, if there is a need to parse multiple files/db I'm OK with that too.
    I have no control on models definition.
    
    Thank you,
    Marcel

    I've attached it as plain text, in case IT want to debug it.
