Hi all,
is someone else using gnucap to simulate circuits created with Electric?
I've been using Electric + gnucap for a long time and I have to questions:
1) Netlist creation
I choose Spice engine: gnucap (in the Preferences -> Tools -> Spice/CDL)
then I create the netlist doing Tools-> Simulation (Spice) -> Write Spice
Deck
I get a netlist with zero in the .subckt part, this is an example :
*** SUBCIRCUIT analog__nmosMin FROM CELL nmosMin{lay}
.SUBCKT analog__nmosMin 0 Vd Vg
(sniped...)
.ENDS analog__nmosMin
The problem is that gnucap doesn't allow a zero on the .subckt statement,
this should have the exported name. I am using a simple script to modify
this netlist before using in gnucap, but I think it could be easy to make
Electric do it right away...
2) Plot simulation output from gnucap
I can't use Electric to plot simulation data in plain text, like this:
# V(vd) V(vg) I(VVDC_vdd)
0. 0. 0. 0.
0.05 0.05 0. 0.
0.1 0.1 0. 0.
0.15 0.15 0. 0.
0.2 0.2 0. 0.
0.25 0.25 0. 0.
(... sniped)
when I try to load it from Electric doing:
Tools -> Simulation (Spice) -> Plot simulation output, choose file, I tget
this error message:
Reading Epic output file: /home/lean/sti/sim/simulacion.out
Error in line 1: Unrecognized Epic line: # V(vd) V(vg)
I(VVDC_vdd)
As far as I know, I can't make gnucap write the simulation output in a
different format. Is there a way to read this data from Electric to plot it?
Thanks in advance!
Leandro.
