Variables for ams.env Files
scicstmt
Specifies initial conditions for nodes and devices in the design.
Syntax
amsDirect.simcntl scicstmt string "ic_conditions"
Values
ic_conditions |
A list of conditions for nodes and devices. |
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the ic option in a generated simulation control file.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl scicstmt string "7=0 out=1 OpAmp1.comp=5 L1:1=1.0u"
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
ic 7=0 out=1 OpAmp1.comp=5 L1:1=1.0u

scignshorts
Tells the simulator to ignore shorted components silently.
Syntax
amsDirect.simcntl scignshorts boolean t | nil
Values |
|
t |
The simulator ignores shorted components silently. |
nil |
The simulator reports shorted components. This is the default. |
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the options ignshorts option in a generated simulation control file.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl |
scignshorts |
boolean t |
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
amsOptions options + ignshorts = yes

Values |
|
t |
The simulator prints information messages. This is the default. |
nil |
The simulator does not print information messages. |
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the options info option in a generated simulation control file.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl |
scinfo boolean nil |
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
amsOptions options + info = no

scinventory
Specifies the extent of the information to be returned about the components used in the simulation.
Syntax
amsDirect.simcntl scinventory cyclic "no" | "brief" | "detailed"
no
brief
detailed
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the options inventory option in a generated simulation control file.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl |
scinventory |
cyclic "brief" |
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
amsOptions options + inventory = brief
