Generated Files
When simulations are run, a number of files have to be generated on disk. By default, when the
name and log parameters of the simulation command are not set, these files are generated in a
temporary directory located in the Eldo outpath directory, named eldo_cl_simu_, with an
automatically generated number appended, for example: eldo_cl_simu_12345.
In this directory, you can find the generated netlist named by default, eldo_cl_simu.cir, and the
simulation output log file named eldo_cl_simu.log. If the simulation failed, it is necessary to
view this log file to understand why an error occurred. Any error listed in this log file will refer
to the generated netlist eldo_cl_simu.cir.
The generated netlist will be overwritten if many simulations are run successively (default
behavior) which is contrary to the simulation output log file which is not overwritten
(simulation log files of each simulation are appended). Therefore, backup files of the generated
netlists are created in case it is necessary to find out which netlist was simulated. The first
backup file is named eldo_cl_simu__1.cir, the second eldo_cl_simu__2.cir, and so on.
For example, if a task defined in the file netlist.cir runs many simulations:
.define_task many_simu
set n = 0
for (n=1; n
