hi,

i tried to simulate a gate-array layout using hspice from cadence
Edge. It gave error saying "unconected nodes...bla bla bla" in the
si.out file. When i removed the unconnect transistors from the 
layout, the simulation became error free.

My Q is there any way n cadence edge to specify that a 
gate-array (actually a nmos-array)
is going to be simulated so that unconnected stuff is taken care
and simulation becomes output free ?

thanx in adv.

hi netters,

there was a typing error in my last posting. hence i write it again:

Yes. We use the GX on all of our Sun nodes that run Edge.

I do not know the REAL release date - sometime this month - but I do
know they are shipping it now to some customers.

As to your other questions... The CRC might have some answers but most
would probably get pushed over to your local salesperson. The advantage
to entering the questions into the CRC is that they are tracked by
Cadence and you can use that tracking system to prove that you are not
getting the response that you would like. Good luck!

This same "feature" is in PDV of EDGE, in both cases one solution is:

    extractDevice( ngate (gate "G") (ndiff "S" "D") (pwell "B") "nmos4" )
    extractDevice( ngate (gate "G") (ndiff "D") (pwell "B") "cap3" )
    w = measureParameter( length ( ngate butting ndiff ) .5 )
    l = measureParameter( length ( ngate inside gpoly1 ) .5 )
    saveProperty( ngate "Name" "nmos4" )
        [....]
    extractDevice( pgate (gate "G") (pdiff "S" "D") (nwell "B") "pmos4" )
    extractDevice( pgate (gate "G") (pdiff "D") (nwell "B") "cap3" )
    w = measureParameter( length ( pgate butting ndiff ) .5 )
    l = measureParameter( length ( pgate inside gpoly1 ) .5 )
    saveProperty( pgate "Name" "pmos4" )
        [....]

Hence you require one additional symbol with 3 nodes. Then use the
netlister(s) to create shorted MOS gates or capacitors depending on
what the requirements are.

Preparing individuals for productive work and a   high quality of life in
today's society is a complex  challenge for schools and corporations. To meet
this challenge, Northwestern University has established a unique Ph.D. program
in the Learning Sciences. Its purpose is to advance the research and
development of innovative educational structures and technologies.

Research in the Learning Sciences is aimed at creating environments that offer
all students a rich variety of opportunities for learning to think effectively,
both within and outside of formal learning settings. Graduate student and
faculty research efforts are supported by a multimedia, networked computing 
infrastructure and an unusual commitment to developing technologies that
function effectively within their intended settings. 

The Learning Sciences is a synthesis of computational and social science
disciplines including artificial intelligence, cognitive and developmental
psychology, educational research, linguistics, computer science, anthropology
and fields that develop strategies for teaching complex subject matter. 

Through research, field work and apprenticeships, the Ph.D. program will
prepare its graduates to assume leadership roles in advancing the scientific
understanding and systematic practices of learning and teaching.

Students are eligible for competitively-awarded multi-year funding. To qualify
for financial aid, candidates should apply by January 15, 1992. Applications
received after that date may be  considered. Individuals with relevant teaching
experience or a strong academic  background in a field related to the Learning
Sciences are encouraged to apply. For  application materials or for further

Hi, I'm interested in any opinions out there in regards to
object-oriented, discrete event simulation using Modsim II from CACI
versus C++.  I have heard some engineers suggest that Modsim II has
problems with dynamic binding, and they are entertaining the idea of
jumping from Modsim II to C++, but I'm not convinced that have
considered all the implications that could arise.  All opinions

Hi there,

I have the following problem with MODSIM and C. 

I need to read a binary file with MODSIM which was created with C. The file
contains simple integers, arrays of integers and arrays of structures.
I have no problem reading this file with C but I haven't found a way to
read this file with MODSIM.

If someone has any ideas of how to solve the problem or need more information
about the structures I use mail to matze@cs.umr.edu.

Thanks in advance.

Could anyone help me find a graphical tool suitable for modeling an 
executing object oriented system?

My aim is to make an application that reads a detailed tracelist made 
from an executing objectoriented communication system. From that list,
I want to graphically display every interesting event such as signals 
in the net, object creation and deletion.

Because of the amount of information in the tracelist, I have to filter
it in a way the user dynamically decide.

For example if the system starts with an event that triggers 10 events 
that triggers 20 events each that ....

This would soon become impossible to display, why the user should be able 
to choose which branch(es) he/she wants to trace.

My plan is to split the problem in two parts, a module written by me in 
C++ that filters the input, and a visualisation-module that I hope already
exist somewhere. The properties I want from the visualisation-module is 
that it:

* Contains a model of the system entities.
* Can use arbitrary bitmaps to represent objects.
* Can read input from a file or socket and does appropriate actions.
* Reports events such as mouseclicks on an object to the filter module.

If anyone has seen a tool suitable for this purpose, I would be most 
greatful for a mail to:

Hello,

I am looking for some pointers.  I would like to find work that has

in conjunction with simulation.

I have a problem in which many discrete alternatives should be 
evaluated in a continuous simulation.  Any work that has been done
in discrete-event or continuous simulation would be helpful.  Also
anything that talks about model validation problems given such a 
situation would be very helpful.

Thank you very much.

Uh, why not just run it from the Windows interface in the first place?
If you're looking at compiling OUTSIDE any IDE, I haven't tried it but
can't imagine it would have any problems as long as you give it
sufficient DPMI memory in the DOS box.
