Hi there
I am trying to make cross-probe btw layout and schematic view.
so when I execute the code in schematic using bindkey, the code will raise the layout view (hiRaiseWindow)
and then I want to descend to the same hierarchy as schematic. (geSelectFig, leHiEditInPlace)
But looks like current cellview still stays at schematic view.
I got this error msg, and when I print current cell view name at where I got this msg, it replys schematic.
*Error* geSelectFig: argument #1 should be a database object (type template = "d") - nil
is there any way to change the current cellview to layout view?
I also added this code, but didn't work.
geGetEditCellView(geGetCellViewWindow(cvId)) ;cvId is layout view
I don't want to close the schematic view, just want to move the focus or make geSelectFig works.
Thanks in advance.
Microwave Office is Cadence’s tool-of-choice for RF and microwave designers designing everything from III-V 5G chips, to RF systems in board and package technologies. These types of designs require close interaction between the schematic and its layout. A new Training Byte demonstrates how the schematic-layout connections is built into Microwave Office.(read more)
At times, there might arise a condition in the design where you need to push the net of selected pins to all its physically connected objects. For example, a few pins are updated with a new net, and it is required to push the new net to all its connected objects. At times, you might update the die or copy routing to other components, when a portion of routing gets the wrong net.
To propagate the net of the pin to all its physically connected objects, Allegro X APD uses the standalone command, Push Connectivity.
You can call the command through Logic > Push Connectivity.
Alternately, you can use the push connectivity command at the command line. Once the command is active, it lets you select pins or symbols that will be used to push net connectivity to all connected objects.
Presently, dynamic shapes and filled rectangles are not considered as part of connectivity. Static shapes are supported.
By default, a dielectric must separate each pair of conductor layers in the cross-section of a design. In rare cases, this does not represent the real, manufactured substrate.
If your design requires you to have conductor layers that are not separated by a dielectric (such as, for half-etch designs), there is a variable that needs to be set in Allegro X APD. You must set this by enabling the variable icp_allow_adjacent_conductors. This entry, and its location in the User Preferences Editor, are shown in the following image.
The Objects on adjacent conductor layers do not electrically connect together, automatically. A via must be used to establish the inter-layer connections.
When enabling this option, it is recommended to exercise caution because excluding dielectric layers from your cross-section can lead to inaccurate calculations, including the calculations for signal integrity and via heights. It is important that your cross-section accurately reflect the finished product to ensure the most accurate results possible. Any dielectric layers present in the manufactured part need to be in the cross-section for accurate extraction, 3D viewing, and so on.
Let us know your comments on the various designs that would require adjacent conductor layers.
When working on a complex design, it is common to have very many net ratlines. Quantities like 1000 ratlines are possible. It can result in a cluttered view while routing. Therefore, it is useful to make all other ratlines invisible while routing interactively. You would like to make all ratlines visible again when each route action is completed.
You can easily do this by enabling the Auto-blank other rats option during routing. When enabled, all rats other than the primary ones are suppressed during the Add Connect command.
When I try to implement the sweep inside my verilog file, I get the following errors.
/// Function
swp2 sweep param=Ndiscmin values=[0.011 0.5055 1] { //// Line 63
tran2 tran start=0 stop=1300n errpreset=conservative
}
Dear all,
I defined two design variables in ADE Assembler, say V1 and V2, that define the voltage 1 and voltage 2 of a "vpulse" voltage source in my schematic.
Then, I define V1 = 1.0, and V2 = 2.0, run a transient simulation, and everything is as expexcted. The source provides pulses between 1.0 V and 2.0 V.
Next, I set V1 = 1.0:0.5:1.5, thereby creating a parametric sweep with 1.0 V and 1.5 V for V1. I keep V2 at 2.0 V. Then the simulation fails, and all I get is "netl err" in my Output Expressions and an error message that the results directory does not exist and nothing can be plotted: This is reasonable, as the results directory is deleted on starting a new simulation, and as there is no simulation result, none of my output expressions can be plotted.
WARNING (OCN-6040): The specified directory does not exist, or the directory does not contain valid PSF results.
Ensure that the path to the directory is correct and the directory has a logFile and PSF result files.
WARNING (ADE-1065): No simulation results are available.
ERROR (WIA-1175): Cannot plot waveform signals because no waveform data is available for plotting.
One of the possible reasons can be that 'Save' check box for these signals are not selected in the Outputs Setup pane. Ensure that these check boxes are selected before you run the simulation.
Normally, this kind of para,metric sweep is not a problem, I have done this many times before. There must be something special in THIS PARTICULAR test bench or simulator setup. The trouble is, I don't get any useful error messages.
Does anyone know what might be the problem here OR where to find useful information to investigate further (log files stored somewhere)? Thank you!
Regards,
Volker
P.S. Using Corners instead does not help either. Running it through all values by hand works, though.
Hi all,
I have a question regarding how to sweep the config view without using a global variable. I’d like to set a different config view for each test, and I'm trying to avoid using corners or plan.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
MooH
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I’ve set up two testbenches (TB1 and TB2) for my Design Under Test (DUT) using Cadence IC6.1.8-64b.500.21 tools, as shown in the attached figure. The DUT has multiple views available: schematic, Calibre, Maestro, and Symbol, and each testbench uses the same DUT in different scenarios. Currently, I have to manually switch between these views, but I would like to streamline this process.
My goal is to use a single config view that allows me to switch between the schematic and the extracted (Calibre) views. Ideally, I would like to have a configuration file where making changes once would update both testbenches (TB1 and TB2) automatically. In other words, when I modify one config, both testbenches should reflect this update for a single simulation run.
I would really appreciate it if you could guide me on the following:
Please refer to the attached figure to get a better understanding of the setup I’m using, where both TB1 and TB2 include the same DUT with multiple available views.
Thank you so much for your time and assistance!
I'm working on the code coverage. Doing a metrics analysis by default we see overall average grade and overall covered. But when i do a block analysis on an instance i see overall covered grade, code covered grade, block covered grade, statement covered grade, expression covered grade, toggle covered grade.
As I dont know the difference I started to read the IMC user guide and came to know there are 3 things we come across while doing a code coverage local, covered, average
From my understanding
local - child instances metrics doesnt reach the parent level. For example, we have an instance Q and its sub instances like Q.a, Q.b. Block Local grade of Q can be 100% even when its instances Q.a and Q.b a block local grades isnt at 100%.
In the attached image there is formula
The key difference between average and covered is the weights.
Average : Mathematically taking the above scenario where Q.a, and Q.b has 10 blocks each. Q.a has covered 8 blocks and q.b has covered 2 blocks. Now if we take the normal average it should be total covered/ totatl number = 8+2/10+10 yielding 50%. But when we add weights saying Q.a is 70% and Q.b is 30% the new number would be (8*0.7+2*0.3) / (10*0.7+10*0.3) resulting 62%. Because of the weights we see 12% bump.
Covered: there is no role of weights.
Among these 3 metrics i've changed my default view to this in the image to get more realistic picture when i do analyze metrics. Do you guys agree with the approach?
Hai Community,
What are the differences between the Cadence OrCAD / Allegro 24.1 with the Altium Designer 24.
Can I get the grid matrix difference between these two tools?

Rohit Rohan
