Title: Passing model file as a string parameter in cadence ocean script
Post by pkd on Dec 22^nd, 2009, 4:53am

Hi,
I want to do a corner analysis along with several other variable
parameters for my design.
At present the line specifying the model file looks like this...

modelFile(
'("/home/pratap/cadence/foundry_data/umc13mmrf/../Models/Spectre/
L130E_HS12_V241.lib.scs" "ss")
)

All I need to change is the last argument as "ff" or "tt". So I want
to give these strings as parameters from an array and run the
simulation.
Does anybody have an idea how can I do so?
Waiting for some solution,
-pkd

Thanks!
The link helped me get the vital clue.

This is how my final code looks like...

Code:

corners='( "ss" "tt" "ff" "snfp" "fnsp" )
foreach(corner corners
modelFile(
list( "/home/pratap/cadence/foundry_data/umc13mmrf/../Models/Spectre/L130E_HS12_V241.lib.scs" sprintf( nil "%s" corner))
)
.
.
.
.
)

"sprintf()" is not required at all for your case.
The following works for your purpose.

Code:

corners='( "ss" "tt" "ff" "snfp" "fnsp" )
foreach(corner corners
modelFile(
list( "/home/pratap/cadence/foundry_data/umc13mmrf/../Models/Spectre/L130E_HS12_V241.lib.scs" corner )
)
.
