Substitution Functions
If needed, Simlation Environment (SE) maps the names assigned on your schematic to names that are valid in the simulator syntax. When you refer to the name of a net, instance, or file in your control file or an included file, you must use the appropriate substitution to ensure correct translation.
The following table lists the substitution functions provided by SE:
|
