This has been an age old problem, you extract your design and get a DSPF file, then you want to run simulation in Virtuoso ADE Assembler, or Virtuoso ADE Explorer, using that DSPF file, but you find that none of your expressions evaluate. That's because the design is flat in the DSPF file, plus the extractor probably added prefixes to devices, changed the finger delimiters and changed the case of nets etc. You probably ended up hand editing the expressions to match, which is tedious. We have been working on a flow to address that issue and now you can use the same expressions in your pre and post-layout simulations. There is a little bit of manual set up to do first, but the Rapid Adoption Kit, Working with DSPF files in Post-layout Flows in ADE Explorer and Assembler, will explain the steps.(read more)![]()
