IF-ELSE statement in hspice

[srini.pes]

Hi to all.,
While designing my hspice model, i have a conditional statement

like

.if (V<s1)

.PARAM CURRENT='A'


.else(V>=s1)

.PARAM CURRENT='B'

.endif



it was showing some error like

please contact encrypted file provider. For relaxed syntax check, please use '-R' command and retry.

Please clarify me if some thing wrong in my syntax.


Thanking you....

I think the .else keyword doesn't have to be followed by a condition (V>=s1). It's redundant anyway.

Hi,

Again same error was coming.
Actually what is the meaning of this error exactly.

and the way i mentioned the if-else block was correct or not ??

Please clarify this and thanking you so much

Are you sure the dot should be there? e.g.

if (Ps > Weff)
   Cbs = AS * Cjbs + (PS - Weff) * Cjbssw + Weff *Cjbsswg
else
   Cbs = AS * Cjbs + PS * Cjbsswg

Hi keith,
It must be like .if,
i clarified with hspice command reference document also...


.IF (condition1)...
+ [.ELSEIF (condition2)... ]
+ [.ELSE ... ]
.ENDIF

I think it depends on where you are using it. In a netlist you use .if, as a compiler directive you use #if and within a model you use if with no prefix.

I think this error message didn't result from HSPICE itself, but from a (SKILL decryption?) syntax checker.

Perhaps this error message doesn't really matter for the proper HSPICE analysis.

please contact encrypted file provider.
For relaxed syntax check, please use '-R' command and retry.

However i mention the if-else block having this same error.
Please tell me how to resolve this issue.

Then probably your if-else block isn't the reason for the error message.

How did you try and start the hspice analysis? Show the command line, and - if possible - the full hspice command file you want to run.
