Hi,
I have a problem with IC5 under Linux.
I have tried to simulate with hspice and not with spectre.
But I found a problem: in whole cadence directory does not exist "hspice.exe"
I lost one night to find a solution and I found this: in /bin exist only the "hspice" file and not "hspice.exe" .
"hspice" is only an script who call the "hspice.exe".
and because the file "hspice.exe" is not there give a mesage like this "variable must begin with a letter"

Please tell me where can I found "hspice.exe" file. If someone have it please sent it.

Thanke you
 

You must install hspice soft. It does not came with IC50, it's from synopysy.

do you mean that I only copy "hspice" from HSPICE to the IC directory and rename it "hspice.exe" ???!?!??!

seems to be too easy ....
 

hi,

bastos4321 is right. you have to install HSP1CE (linux version) and set the all necessary environment variables. i think there are some posts here where this procedure is described.
general there are a direct simulation approach (if you use s/pect/re) and an socket simulation approach (for all other simulators). so you have to set up ic5 in that way, that it uses HSP1CE instead of s/pect/re. i didn't try this before, but i have read it in the document anasimhelp.pdf (ic5_install_dir/doc/anasimhelp/).


Greetings,

That's the approach for the other type of simulators as eldo, hsim, etc. Install the simulator where you want, and then set the environment variables.
