MMSIM10 with Cadence ic5

I'm using cadence ic5 and already want to install mmsim10.
what changes should be done on (cshrc and bashrc) files to complete the installation process
how can I check that my installation is done correctly

You need to setup environment variables first to point to MMSIM and then you need to add the bin to your PATH. This is what I do with my scripts.

MMSIMHOME=/diskt/app/cadence/virtuoso/mmsim71; export MMSIMHOME
PATH=$PATH:$MMSIMHOME/tools/bin:$MMSIMHOME/tools/dfII/bin; export PATH

Then in the command prompt, I type in the following to see if spectre is available
which spectre

And the path that you have set should find spectre and return it to you.

And then I type in the following command to make sure I can run spectre. This will show the help for spectre from a command line perspective.
spectre -h

IC5 has an outdated spectre binary. If you have CDSHOME before MMSIMHOME in your path, you'll end up using the old spectre. Put MMSIM at the beginning of your path instead.

MMSIMHOME=/diskt/app/cadence/virtuoso/mmsim71; export MMSIMHOME
PATH=$MMSIMHOME/tools/bin:$MMSIMHOME/tools/dfII/bin:$PATH; export PATH
