Description
Generates a flattened description of the design hierarchy specified by simLibName, simCellName, and simViewName in the syntax described by the global formatting properties in simNlpGlobalLibName, simNlpGlobalCellName and simNlpGlobalViewName.
In addition to specifying the input parameters, you must set the following variables from the SE global environment before calling this function:
simNetNamePrefix
simInstNamePrefix
simModelNamePrefix
These variables are used by the simNetlistWithArgs SKILL function.
The variables generate unique names during netlisting. The netlister uses these string prefixes and adds a unique number as a suffix to each of them to create a unique name. If you set these variables to nil, the netlister generates the unique number as output but does not add a string prefix to the number.
The function is defined in /bin/si and also in the Cadence graphics program. You cannot modify this function.
Arguments
|
t_simLibName
|
The name of the library containing the top-level cellview of the design.
|
|
t_simCellName
|
The cell name of the top-level cellview (design) to be netlisted. For example:
"alu"
This cell name must be the simCellName global SE variable.
|
|
t_simViewName
|
The view name of the top-level cellview of the design.
|
|
t_simRunDir
|
The full file system path name to the simulation run directory. This path name must be the same as the simRunDir global SE variable. For example:
"/mnt2/user1/simulations/silos1"
|
|
t_simNlpGlobalLibName
|
|
|
The name of the library which contains the global cellview that defines the global format strings. The format strings define the netlist syntax. This library name must be the same as the value of the simNlpGlobalLibName global SE variable. For example:
"basic"
|
|
t_simNlpGlobalCellName
|
|
|
The cell name of the global cellview which contains the global format strings that define the netlist syntax. This cell name must be the same as the value of the simNlpGlobalCellName global SE variable. For example:
"nlpglobals"
|
|
t_simNlpGlobalViewName
|
|
|
The view name of the global cellview which contains the global format strings that define the netlist syntax. This view name must be the same as the value of the simNlpGlobalViewName global SE variable. For example:
"verilog"
|
|
l_simViewList
|
The view switch list that determines which view to switch into when a cell has been found. This list must be the same as the value of the simViewList global SE variable. For example:
list("verilog" "schematic")
|
|
l_simStopList
|
The stopping view list that determines when expansion of the hierarchy is halted. This list must be the same as the value of the simStopList global SE variable. For example:
list("verilog")
|
|
t_simGlobalErrorFile
|
|
|
The name of the file for storing global error messages.
|
|
t_simProbeFileName
|
|
|
The name of the probe file for storing errors, usually probe.err.
|
|
t_simSimulator
|
The simulator for which the netlist syntax is intended. This simulator must be the same as the value of the simSimulator SE global environment variable. For example:
"verilog"
|
|
f_simTimeUnit
|
The floating-point time unit factor. For example, 1.0e-9.
|
|
f_simCapUnit
|
The floating-point capacitance unit factor. For example, 1.0e-15.
|
|
t_simNetlistFileName
|
|
|
The name of the file in which the netlist is stored. For example:
"/mnt/user1/simulations/silos1/netlist"
|
Value Returned
|
t
|
The netlist process does not detect any errors.
|
|
nil
|
The netlist process detected an error.
