anyone tell wether the ocean use Hspice to simulate ?

[Joestar]

i used Hspice to simulate in ocean scipt
but the error message:
Invalid command modelFile for simulator 'hspiceS'
i use the command modelFile to specify the corner model
but failed
anyother tell me the right way to specify corner files ?

ocean is for spectre.
you can use .alter command for hspice.

.alter
lib "...." tt
.alter
lib "..." ss

and so on. you should refer to the manual for detailed information.

in my simulaion
.alter cover all PVT and parameters need 325 cases
it is too many to do

 

[renwl]

yes,you are right.
maybe there are better method.
does somebody try the shell script or other scripts?

I think ocean should work with any simulator and you should specify that the first thing in ocean as:
simulator('spectre) ... for spectre,So, I assume you will do the same for hspice.
I have not used hspice with ocean before, but that is my guess.
Having said that, you might be having syntax error in your modelFile. I think you should find what that syntex needs to be for hspice.

The issue is solved when i used command "includeFile" to specify the model path ,and the correct design name is *.C and include netlist file *.S . it different from that in spectre
