Setup

This page assumes you have full access to the linux servers and are already setup. For more information, see getting started on linux

To setup the environment to use HSPICE Q-2020.03 source the following script.

source /CMC/scripts/synopsys.hspice.2020.03.csh

I added this to my startup script (which didn't already exist), by running echo "source /CMC/scripts/synopsys.hspice.2020.03.csh" > .cshrc

You can verify that it worked by verifying the HSPICE version:

hspice -v

which should return:

[tdriley@iccad1 ~/hspice_test]$ hspice -v
Using: /CMC/tools/synopsys/hspice_vQ-2020.03/hspice/Q-2020.03/hspice/linux64/hspice -v
  HSPICE Version Q-2020.03 linux64 (build id: 6181658; build date: Mar  8 2020 19:22:14)

Further Reading

For more information, you can access the documentation using the command hspice -doc, which will open the file /CMC/tools/synopsys/hspice_vQ-2020.03/hspice/Q-2020.03/hspice/docs_help/home.pdf. I found this pretty useless except as a list of files, but you can actually find the other documents it is listing in the folder /CMC/tools/synopsys/hspice_vQ-2020.03/hspice/Q-2020.03/hspice/doc/
