Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Chapter 7: Using QuickSim II with Synopsys ModelsSimulator Configuration GuideEvery time you install or update Mentor Graphics application software, you must createa user tree for the SWIFT SmartModel Library. Use the MGC install tool to createduplicate Mentor Graphics user trees. User trees typically require between 10–20 MB ofdisk space. For questions about creating Mentor Graphics user trees, refer to the MentorGraphics documentation. Follow these steps:1. If you are using a version of QuickSim II prior to D1, for each Mentor Graphicshome directory (user or master tree) that requires access to the SWIFT interface,execute the following command:UNIX% $LMC_HOME/bin/mgc_ins -m $MGC_HOME -l $LMC_HOME2. Add “$LMC_HOME” followed by a blank line to your location map file.3. Add SmartModel Library Menus to Design Architect. Normally, as part ofinstallation, the Admin tool automatically adds SmartModel menus to DesignArchitect for the models you installed. Use the instructions in this section to add theSmartModel menus only if, after installation, you do not find SmartModel menuentries under the Design Architect “Libraries” pull-down menu. To includeSmartModel menu selections in the Design Architect (DA) menus, follow thesesteps:a. Set the AMPLE_PATH environment variable. If this variable already exists, useone of these commands as appropriate:UNIX% setenv AMPLE_PATH ${AMPLE_PATH}:$LMC_HOME/special/qsim/menusIf you have a custom userware directory, you can create links that point to“$LMC_HOME/special/qsim/menus/des_arch.”b. If the AMPLE_PATH environment variable does not exist, use one of thesecommands as appropriate:UNIX% setenv AMPLE_PATH $LMC_HOME/special/qsim/menusIf you have a custom userware directory, you can create links that point to“$LMC_HOME/special/qsim/menus/des_arch.”4. Generate the menus as shown in the appropriate example:UNIX% $LMC_HOME/bin/mgc_menu.pl126 Synopsys, Inc. October 6, 2003
