2 Netlist Compatibility and Support

The Spectre FX simulator shares the front-end of Spectre platform. It provides support for the native Spectre syntax and is fully compatible with HSPICE® (from Synopsys, Inc.) netlist files.

Spectre FX automatically sets SPICE or Spectre compatibility mode by detecting the input file format. You can specify +spectre or +spice at the command line to ensure the compatibility mode is as expected.
