Prerequisites to learn cadence virtuoso ?

[MahmoudHassan]

Hello
Happy new year
i wish you all new year with a lot of achievements and all your dreams come true

Actually i want to learn cadence virtuoso ...i have now a little experience with OrCAD PsPICE (Beginner level also )
but i want to ask about prerequisites to learn ?
some advised me that i need to learn a little about Linux (I didn't work with linux a lot )
others said that i have to learn HSPICE or SPECTRE

but iam not sure about this ...so ... i want an advice from great designers here
What prerequisites i need to start learning cadence virtuoso ?

Thanks a lot

Hi,
yeah, you must have some knowledge in linux.. not so much..
then it is not a free software..
then it needs pdks.. and unique installation procedure..
thanks
