Customization of the Simulation Environment Using the .simrc File
When you initialize SE, it first loads the si.env file. This file notifies SE on what design to simulate and what simulator to use.
SE then loads the simulation run control file .simrc if it exists. If you set a variable in .simrc that also sets options in the graphical environment using the Options command, SE uses the .simrc file settings and ignores the Options settings.
The .simrc file must be in SKILL syntax. The following is a sample .simrc file. The first line in this file overrides the default view list used for view switching with SILOS. The second line overrides the default stopping list that stops hierarchy expansion for SILOS.
hspiceSimViewList = ("hspice" "cmos_sch" "schematic")
hspiceSimStopList = ("hspice" "cmos_sch")
