Forum Post: RE: DC operating points in hspice
Since you're asking about how hspice works, this is probably better asked in a Synopsys forum (since HSPICE is their simulator, and not a Cadence product). My guess is that you'd put this in a file and...

ok i tried the leSearchHierarchy for a single transistor and it gives me 2 bBox values for the 2 PP layers used. But when i applied this to a pattern of transistor it gives me many bBox values but all...

You can of course set breakpoints in the SKILL IDE. Click to the left of the line of code to do this (or use the menus). More can be found in the documentation for the SKILL IDE. Regards, Andrew.

Your requirements are a bit imprecise, so I'll provide some code which illustrates the principle. If you have a list of instances and a named layer purpose pair, you can use this code:...

Best to use the 17.2 version instead. You should have access to the reference designs if you go for the latest version.

Andrew, I tried both. But nothing worked here. Consistently the same results are coming back. Just to clarify once again, I have included option('rebuild_matrix "yes") before I declare the type of...

The option() call should be after the simulator() call - ideally after the design() call. If that doesn't work, please contact customer support - we'll need to see your entire setup, I think. Regards,...

There is an option to "Give Feedback" so best to respond using that so that Arrow can improve the quality of their data

I suggest you try: trace(add_layer dbTransformPoint) to see what arguments are being passed to add_layer and then dbTransformPoint before it fails. Or use the debugger in the IDE... you can look at the...
