cadence ic problem load state

Hi
each time i simulate a circui i must point to the location of the models i need to know how to define the lcation of the models to be known by the simuator not to do this manually each time

Re: cadence problem

I don't know how to define the location of the models to be known by the simulator,but at least u can save state after the first simulation so that u don't need to add models in the following simulations of the first circuit,what u just do is load the state

Add these lines in your .cdsinit

MYModel = strcat("/path/modelfile1;"
"/path/modelfile2;")
envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string MYModel )

I assume that you're playing w/ spectre of Cadence. Otherwise, what I put here is not for you atall.

Re: cadence problem

you should save the state,you can load the state next time,

If i'm using hspice what would i add

You're using Hspice from Cadence's ADE, right?
Not sure if the config. 4Hspice is like that 4Spectre, but the config. function envSetVal should be a general one for ADE.

Re: cadence problem

<cds> -replay ~/oldcds.log

this command should repeat your previous step exactly.

Can select also a section from the modelFile?
