The easiest way would be to write a perl script, but in IC610, you could use File->Import->SPICE (I think that's the menu) which can create a real schematic from a spectre netlist, and then you could netlist that in the hspiceD interface in ADE.

Regards,

Andrew.

... try this in Wordpad (although for some search and replace functions, Word might be better)

***************************************************************************
***      Spectre            to       Hspice
***      //                               **
***      \                                <return> +
***      Inn                              Xnn
***      subckt                        .sub
***      ends                          .ends
***      resistor r=                  (empty)
***      capacitor c=               (empty)
***      sa, sb, sca, scb           (comment out)      NB: ignored in Spectre & Hspice
***      scc in MOS                  (comment out)      NB: ignored in Spectre & Hspice
***      (Vdc3/2)                     'Vdc3/2'                 brackets ( ) to single quotes ' '
***      Rnn n1 n2 rppolywo     XRnn n1 n2 rppolywo
***************************************************************************

You may have to write a subckt for XRnn depending on the foundry model files you are using.

I find the above covers most cases.

Cheers,
