Spectre is a circuit simulator; I don't understand what "code" you need to write. It generally takes a netlist, not code, and it runs from the command line (Cadence does have some GUIs for using it).

Are you trying to script up a set of simulations and measurements? I think people use Ocean for that.

Do you have code for a behavioral model (or a new compact model) in Verilog-A?

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.

moh626,

Take a look here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/80705097/Running-Ocean-Based-Simulations-A#scribd . This document is nice as starter. I found it previously as a free pdf, but now I do not know why i cannot find a page where it is given for free. I do not know whether is free or not. When I found it it looked like it was given for free by a university.

Additionally, if you have your simulation set up in a GUI environment to see how your simulation looks like as a script follow these steps:

Session -> Save Ocean Script ...

If you want to load your script, in Virtuoso main window write:

load "path_to_your_script/name_of_your_script.ocn"
