asiSendInitCond

asiSendInitCond( 
o_session
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Places all the initial conditions in <netlistDirectory>/raw/ics and sends a ptprop command to Cadence SPICE.

There is a mechanism in the simdot.f file that gets the value of the ptprop command (if the ptprop command was sent). If the ptprop command was sent, the ics file is automatically included in the final netlist. If the ptprop command was not sent, the ics file is not included. The initial conditions are of the form:

ic v(node)=value

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