cadence ocean script switching model files
Apr 27^th, 2011, 3:13am

Can please somebody help me to modify an ocean script? Ocean scripts are new to me.

the ocean file is running but I need to switch among different model files.

� �I have this:

� �modelFile(
� �'("$PDK_DIR/at77000/analog_artist/models/spectre/model_corners/MOS_nom_RES_nom_
CAP_nom.scs" "")
� �)

� �and it is working.

� �now I want to, let's say run the same ocean script but using 3 different model files:

� �"$PDK_DIR/at77000/analog_artist/models/spectre/model_corners/MOS_nom_RES_nom_CA
P_nom.scs"

� �"$PDK_DIR/at77000/analog_artist/models/spectre/model_corners/MOS_bcs_RES_high_C
AP_high.scs"

� �"$PDK_DIR/at77000/analog_artist/models/spectre/model_corners/MOS_bcs_RES_nom_CA
P_low.scs"

� �what is the best way to do this? I have tried different ideas but without success.

� �my idea is to do something like this:

� �model_path="$PDK_DIR/at77000/analog_artist/models/spectre/model_corners/"

� �corner1=strcat(model_path "/MOS_nom_RES_nom_CAP_nom.scs")
� �corner2=strcat(model_path "/MOS_bcs_RES_high_CAP_high.scs")
� �corner3=strcat(model_path "/MOS_bcs_RES_nom_CAP_low.scs")

� �and then to use a foreach. but I don't get it to work because of syntax errors or maybe because it is not the correct way to do it.

� �can please somebody have a look at this and if possible provide me an (written) example?

� �thank you!

Hi All,

for those who are interested I found a method to switch between the models.
maybe the code is not the most elegant but it fulfills the desired objective.
as a point of reference here is the code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Part1

comment the following lines:

;modelFile(
; � '("$PDK_DIR/at77000/analog_artist/models/spectre/model_corners/MOS_bcs_RES_high_
CAP_low.scs" "")
;)

use instead:

model_path="/design/libs/at77000/v0.7/at77000/analog_artist/models/spectre/model
_corners"
list1 = strcat(model_path �"/MOS_bcs_RES_high_CAP_high.scs ")
list2 = strcat(model_path �"/MOS_bcs_RES_high_CAP_low.scs ")
list3 = strcat(model_path �"/MOS_bcs_RES_low_CAP_high.scs ")
list4 = strcat(model_path �"/MOS_bcs_RES_low_CAP_low.scs ")
...
etc etc etc, define here all the different models

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Part2

then define a list where you can select which models will be used in the loop, for example

corner_list = list(list1 list2 list4 )

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Part3

then use a loop:

foreach( corner corner_list
modelFile( corner)
run()

...
...
...
)

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

and that's it.

Best Regards and hope it is helpful for someone!
