Title: enviroment setup of Virtuoso
Post by danda821 on Nov 28^th, 2006, 8:38am

Everytime when I use Virtuoso Analog Design Enviroment, the default "State Save Directory" always points to ~/.artist_states, "Project Directory" always to "~/simulation". So I have to change them to the location I prefer manually everytime. Is there anyway I can change the default value. Thanks.

setting something up in your .cdsinit will should do the trick (or .user_cdsinit if you have it)

envSetVal("asimenv" "saveDir" 'string "SAVE_STATES_PATH")
envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "projectDir" 'string "SAVE_DATA_PROJECT_DIRECTORY")

or best is to ask your cad support to do it for you....

Thanks. How about "Path to Model Library File"?

envSetVal( "spectre.envOpts" "modelFiles" 'string "
/path/mymodels1.scs;section
/path/mymodels2.scs;section")

section is nom, typ etc. depending on how your .scs files are coded.

anyway you save this in a state, and load it quite easily.
you should look at your .cdsinit files to learn how your environment defaults are set for you, then you can easily edit them to suit your own needs. also using cdsFinder will help

Hi,

all possible setups for ADE you find in
$CDSHOME/tools/dfII/etc/tools/asimenv/.cdsenv

for other tools it is
$CDSHOME/tools/dfII/etc/tools/<tool>/.cdsenv

You just have to adapt the syntax.

Regards,
Achim

With the UNIX environment variables
setenv CDS_LOG_PATH directoryList
and
setenv CDS_LOG_VERSION pid | sequential (csh syntax).

For more detailed explanation have a look at
Cadence Application Infrastructure User Guide,
Chapter 12, Miscellaneous Infrastructure Technologies.
