Title: .scs, .dat file import Post by vara on Sep 1st, 2006, 2:01am Hi! I am simulating a VCO at 60 GHz. There is a MIM capacitor model provided by the Fab. I exported the layout in .gds format and ran some EM simulations on a third-party software (Sonnet). The simulations in Sonnet are quite different as compared to the fab model. So i want to import the files from Sonnet. Sonnet exports the simualtion files in Two formats. '.dat' and '.scs'. In the cadence 'icfb' window i cannot see these formats for import. Is there any way over it? Vara |
Title: Re: .scs, .dat file import Post by ACWWong on Sep 1st, 2006, 3:41am I don' think you need to import it. Using the Analog design environment, you simply include the .scs file in the model path (In ADE->Setup->Model Libraries). Then in your testbench you instantiate a component with the right terminals which reads that model file... Anyway I guess the .scs file is just a netlist of lumped components and values, from which it should be easy to create a schematic view. |

Title: Re: .scs, .dat file import Post by Ken Kundert on Sep 3rd, 2006, 1:40pm I believe that the .scs suffix stands for 'spectre circuit simulator'. If you use it, Spectre assumes the contents of the file are in the Spectre netlist language, so no "simulator lang=spectre" is required. -Ken |
