Title: Accessing the model library file section using Skill or Ocean
Post by Merrick on Mar 23^rd, 2011, 1:49pm

We have a custom corner generation tool for Cadence ADE that creates netlists for various combinations of design variables, temperatures, etc. and launches the simulation on an SGE queue using ocean. The device corner is manipulated through the section of the model library file.

Using this tool, I can run corners quickly and then run an ocean script to post process the results. I always like to verify the design variables and temperature using VAR() to ensure that there wasn't a typo on the inputs to the corner generation tool. The one thing that I'm unable to verify, however, is the device corner. Is there a direct way through Skill or Ocean to find the section of the model library file that was used ?

Thanks,
Merrick

o_currentSession = asiGetCurrentSession( )
asiGetEnvOptionVal( o_currentSession 'modelFiles )

Returns the model file plus section, then it should be easy to get the section only.
