Forum Post: Extracted Netlist Simulation Speedup?
Hi, I have a config view with verilog on top and an av_extracted view as an instance in it. I am using the UNL flow out of ADE Assembler (using newest tool versions). The av_extracted cellview is about...

Hi, I have designed a schematic, which I simulated in ADEL version IC6.1.6-64b.500.8 While running montecarlo simulation, I observed, the simulation did not even start. I don't know exactly where it...

This is TCL code, for the Schematic, DSN, file, rather than SKILL code, for the physical layout, BRD, file. Tools>Bill of Materials, or Tools>Reports>Component Report would be the conventional...

Hi, I am new to allegro, I had the same problem as Brain so, I followed the above instructions and it worked, but the imported net-list had some changes and the components, more specifically Pads of...

I am implementing different aging models in the URI. I need to have the option to use both the appendage mode in the URI (write the results of the different models into a sub circuit) and the agemos...

Hi Andrew, I have a similar requirement as mentioned by tyanata. The only difference is that I want to store the output of lmstat command in a file for further processing. Following is the code snippet...

It could be that the nets are selected in the schematic and so they are highlighted in the pcb (this is cross probing). Left Click in blank space to deselect the nets in Capture and see if that helps....

Fabio. This really is best dealt with via customer support . Most likely we'll need to see your code as part of the support case. Regards, Andrew.

Having recently upgraded to 17.2 from 16.6 there now seems to be more read-only keyboard shortcuts. For example CTRL+Z (~Z), CTL+S (~S) etc... that were not readonly in 16.6 When trying to set these in...

Jay, This isn't really related to the original post - you don't have any quotes in your command, so that wouldn't be it. I'm assuming you don't have any strange characters or spaces in your directory...

Andrew, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using ICAVD12.2-64b.78 and sorry for the typo for function getShellEnvVar . It's strange to notice that the implementation using "tee" as well as "redirection...

Jay, My point about using tee is that you're then producing a load of standard output which you're not consuming, potentially filling up the input buffer back to virtuoso. So I wouldn't do that if you...

Folks, I have learned a lot on how to use Allegro, but found that I cannot import a very simple four two lead component OrCAD schematic into Allegro!! This is fundamental, and I have checked the...

Allegro only looks for the PSM files. Sounds like the requisite PSM files are not in the path. Open the DRA and compile it and save the compiled symbol to the path shown. If the pin count/names don't...

I just solved this problem by using the full path to the directory in place of the '~' home shortcut. For example, I changed '~/directory' to '/home/ /directory'.

Hi, I discovered that the DRA, PSM and PAD files should probably be in the same directory. This directory could be something completely different from what Cadence defaults too, but I did get it to...

Hi, I would like to use SKILL to iterate through every single DRA file in a directory and export the libraries, i.e. padstacks, shapes, etc. The reason is to verify library contents during each library...
