Post01 Oct 2008 20:16   Create spectre netlists using a script

Hi,

I wonder if anybody could please help?

Does anybody know if it is possibly to create spectre netlists automatically using a skill/ocean script?

Currently, to create a spectre netlist, I have to run up ADE and then manually do:
-> Simulation > Netlist > Create

Surely, there must be some way of doing this via a script, which means I dont have to run up ADE everytime I change the design? As I am running testbenches using Ocean, I dont really want to have to run up the ADE GUI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi jecyhale,

Thanks very much for your reply, however, this still does not really help.

The script saved by ADE defines the location of the spectre netlist. What I want to do is have a script which actually creates this spectre netlist.

My aim is to:

1. Create a spectre netlist from a schematic
2. Run the testbench

I want to do this entirely within Ocean, i.e, I dont want have to run up the ADE GUI at any point. At present, (2) is easily done within Ocean, but still need to find a method of doing (1) within a script.

Thanks again jecyhale

If anyone else has any input, I would be very grateful.



Regards

There are not other methods for you creating netlist but using ADE tool.

I am not really shure about the new spectre but there was different starting methods or run options for spectre's executeable.

There are run option in nonintercative mode where you simply have the netlist and the simulator controls as file location.

That I know was before 6.0

I think you should create the script and netlist, then merge them together to you test bench.
