Which Output Files are Generated During CDL Out?

Depending on what output files you specified in the  CDL Out form or template file, CDL Out produces one or more of the following files. CDL Out writes all messages to the si.log file.

• Error messages, preceded by “*Error*”, indicate serious, unrecoverable conditions.The converted file is incorrect. For example, if a cell instance is called but its master cell does not exist, CDL Out writes an error message to the si.log file.
• Warning messages preceded by “*Warning*” indicate unexpected but recoverable conditions. The converted file is usable. For example, if a string is too long and has been truncated, CDL Out writes a warning message to the si.log file.
• Information messages, preceded by “*Info*”, indicate the status of a process that is running or the results of a completed process. Information messages are written to the file si.log.

• Statistical messages that CDL Out generates as it runs are also written to the si.log file. You can use these messages to estimate the size of the file based on information such as the number of cells and terminals.
