Hi all,

I've got successfully extracted parasitic inductor from my layout. Calibre PEX also extracted mutual inductance between the inductors. They are both present in extracted netlist.
My problem is, I cannot map the mutual inductance into a cell view (calibreview) because the mapping file (calview.cellmap) doesn't contain its definition.

Can you guys help me? How should it look like? Maybe someone can copy&paste the definition from their calibre mapping file?

Here is my own definition of parasitic inductor, which works ok.
((p ind l)
(analogLib pinductor symbol)
(
(PLUS)
(MINUS)
)
)

The definition of mutual inductance is a mystery to me.... All I know is that the target cell view is present in "analogLib" as "pmind". My guess is that the "k" thing is a string searched for in the extracted netlist, since inductor is "l", capacitor is "c", resistor is "r".

((p ??? k)
(analogLib pmind symbol)
(
???
)
)

Can anyone shed some light please?

The "terminals" of mutual inductance elements, K, are not nodes of the RC network, but bodies of resistors (each resistor is also a self-inductor L).
This is a fundamental problem, and I don't think that regular calview.cellmap approach will be able to handle it.

But you better ask your customer support at Mentor/Siemens about this.
 

Hi all,

I solved this issue by adding the following into the mapping file

((p ind l)
(analogLib pinductor symbol)
(
(PLUS)
(MINUS)
)
)

((p mutk k)
(analogLib pmind symbol)
(
(ind1)
(ind2)
)
