Simulation Run Directory

Specifies the directory in which the system stores simulation input and output files.

If you specify a relative path, the system creates the run directory in the directory from which you launched the software. By default, the run directory is spice.run1.

The system saves all simulation input and output files in the simulation run directory. As the system initializes the environment, it lists the files it has loaded and any overridden variables in the si.foregnd.log file, which is located in the run directory.

Simulator Name

Specifies the simulator to be used for analysis.

This field shows the available simulators. If your preferred simulator is not listed, select other and specify the name of the simulator in the adjoining text field. The text field becomes editable when you select other.

Library Name

Specifies the library containing the top level of your design.

Cell Name

Specifies the top-level cell to simulate, for example, inverter.

View Name

Specifies the name of the view to simulate, for example, schematic.
