Settings

Lets you configure settings for simulator or environment settings. It also provides commands that let you view stackup for models.

Simulation

Opens the Simulation Settings form where you can configure settings for different 3D electromagnetic simulators.

Environment

Opens the Environment Settings form that lets you review and update the process corner name and custom process corner files for your models. You can also specify the settings to be used by the jobs that run simulations.

View Stackup

Opens the Virtuoso Layout Viewer window and displays the layer stackup as defined in the .emproc files for the models that use the Clarity simulator.

View EMX Scaled Stackup

Opens the PDF viewer and displays the scaled layer stackup for the models that use the EMX simulator.

View EMX Unscaled Stackup

Opens the PDF viewer and displays the unscaled layer stackup for the models that use the EMX simulator.

New Full Cellview Model

Creates a new model based on full cellview extraction. A new row is also added to the Models table.

New Nets/Instances Model (XL)

Creates a new model on XL-based selection. A new row is also added to the Models table.

New Nets/Instances Model (LVS)

Creates a new model on LVS-based selection. A new row is also added to the Models table.

Export model settings for use in the EM solver

Exports the model settings to a .clf file that can be used by the EM solver specified for that model in the Models table.

Open simulator

Provides commands to interact with the electromagnetic solvers.

Preview Geometry

Provides the preview of a model in EMX gdsview. It exports a CLF file and displays it in gdsview and shows the layout exactly as the EMX solver sees it.

Open Existing Model

Reopen the result of a previous simulation in Clarity.

Generate Mesh

Creates a mesh file for the selected model.

View 3D Mesh

Opens a mesh in a mesh viewer.

Mesh and Simulate

Creates a mesh for the selected model, sends the mesh file to the selected simulator, opens the simulator UI and runs simulation.

Start Simulation

Starts the simulation.

Stop

Stops the simulation in progress.

View Simulation Log

Opens the log saved by the simulator.

Create Extracted View

Creates/ an extracted view by using the S-parameter saved after the EM simulation of a model.

Refresh Model Status

Reflects the current status of model simulation. If the EM simulation is complete, but the value in the Status column is still shown as Pending, use this command to update the status,

Device Authoring

Provides commands to enable custom passive devices for the signoff LVS. This option is turned on only if the Extract Full Cellview check box is selected.

Generate Marker Shapes

Generates marker shapes over the created device using logical operations.

Generate Device Signature

Generates device signature, such as recognition layer, marker layer information, pin mapping information, and layers used in the design.

Refresh

Reloads the updated devices.txt file during a Virtuoso session.
