asiFormatAnalysis

asiFormatAnalysis( 
o_analysis 
p_fp 
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Formats the analysis statements to send to Cadence SPICE.

Note for Integrators: This function is defined as a method for the Analog Class. You can overload this method for your simulator class, as shown in the example for integrators.

Arguments

o_analysis

Specifies the analysis object.

p_fp

Specifies a file pointer to the file containing the analysis statements to send to the simulator (for simulators that are not in the Cadence SPICE Socket).

Value Returned

t

The statements are generated.

nil

Unsuccessful operation.

Examples

In the following example, the integrator of the XYZ simulator sends the trial analysis to Cadence SPICE, which formats the analysis to send to the XYZ simulator:

defmethod( asiFormatAnalysis ( (analysis XYZ_trial_analysis) fp )
    let(( str ( aelEnv aelEnvCreate( 's ) ) (session asiGetSession(                      analysis )) )

     str = sprintf( nil "* Trial Analysis\n")
  str = sprintf( nil "%sptprop XYZ_trial DoIt 1\n" str )

     str = sprintf( nil "%sptprop XYZ_trial from %s\n" str
     aelEnvInterpret( aelEnv asiGetAnalysisFieldVal
   (analysis 'from )))
  str = sprintf( nil "%sptprop XYZ_trial to %s\n" str
    aelEnvInterpret( aelEnv asiGetAnalysisFieldVal
   (analysis 'to )))
  str = sprintf( nil "%sptprop XYZ_trial by %s\n" str
    aelEnvInterpret( aelEnv asiGetAnalysisFieldVal
   (analysis 'by )))

     asiSendSim( session str nil nil nil )

     asiFormatAnalysisOption( analysis fp )

     t

)
