simInitEnv

simInitEnv( 
) 
=> t / nil 

Description

Initializes the simulation environment within the Cadence graphics environment.

In addition to defining the SKILL environment needed for SE and the target application, the run directory is created and initialized as needed, using the simInitRunDir function. When simInitEnv is invoked, a form appears, prompting you for the simulation run directory name. You can specify either a relative or a full file system path name. If you specify a relative path name, the name is prepended with the full file system path name to the directory from which the program was invoked. If the specified run directory does not exist, a second form appears and prompts you for the following:

• Simulation run directory
• Simulator name
• Library name
• Cell name
• View name

Using this information, the run directory is created and initialized. If the run directory already exists, the environment specified within it is restored, and the second form is not displayed.

Arguments
