Description

Sets the fabric type for a technology database.

For more information about the fabricType section of the technology file, see fabricType.

Arguments

d_techfileID

The database identifier of the technology database.

t_fabricType

The fabric type of the technology database. The default value is unspecified. The other supported values are ic, package, board, and module.

You need the Virtuoso_MultiTech_Framework license to use a fabric type other than ic. You can change the fabric type to ic without this license if the technology database does not have any package elements, such as wirebond profiles.

After a fabric type is specified for one technology database, all other technology databases in the technology graph it is in must have the same fabric type or the value unspecified.

The following values correspond to Cadence package names:

  • package: Cadence® SiP Layout .sip file
  • module: Cadence® Allegro® Package Designer .mcm file
  • board: Cadence® Allegro® PCB Designer .brd file

Value Returned

t

The specified fabric type has been set for the technology database.

nil

The fabric type could not be set, or the technology database does not exist.

Example
