You need to see what analyses are in the netlist. If it is spectre, you can see what is saved for (say) one of the info analyses by looking at "spectre -h info" or for transient with "spectre -h tran" and so on - use spectre -h with the analysis name, and check what it saves with the options selected.

Otherwise the spectre user guide and spectre reference are the places to look. For other simulators, you'd need to look in the manuals for those simulators.

The amap folder is used to keep mapping information during netlisting, signal probing and so on. It's to keep track of the fact that the names in the schematic may not match the name in the netlist, and different delimiters may be used, and so on.

However, the files and the format of those files within the amap directory is not public and is not documented - mainly because they would be used via an API in the application itself, and also it gives Cadence the freedom to adapt them if necessary.

The ihnl directory is used for the incremental hierarchical netlister - so you'll get subdirectories containing netlists for each cellView. With AMS it also contains other information, such as the compiled representation of the various Verilog AMS and other language code. Again, it's under the control of the netlister, so all you really need to know is that it contains parts of the netlists as the netlisting is proceeding.
