To set up Mentor Cadence or Synopsys to be able to run Eldo, Spectre or Hspice add these lines to your .cshrc file.

source /net/ictools/csh/mentor.csh

source /net/ictools/csh/cadence.csh

source /net/ictools/synopsys/synopsys.csh    or

source /net/ictools/synopsys/synopsys12.csh  for newer versions of synopsys tools

Eldo:

To run Eldo on a circuit "test.cir" type: eldo test.cir

This will create "test.wdb"

To view waveforms from eldo type "ezwave &" and open "test.wdb"

Hspice:

You need to add the line below to be able to plot the waveforms with the viewer

.option post

To view waveforms from hspice type "wv &"  from which you can open the waveform result files

Hspice generates files xxx.ac0 for ac analysis, xxx.sw0 for dc analysis, xxx.tr0 for transient analysis

Hspice help is located in: /net/class/ictools/synopsys/hspice/hspice_cmd_help/home.pdf

You need to run on 64-bit computer.

64-bit computer names:

• larue-q1

• larue-q2
