Re: Why redundant wires generated in integrator design?
Hi Denglong,
OK, so I suspect that the problem lies with the original 4 wires. Although they appear to be 'correct' I suspect that for some reason they are in fact not correctly implementing the signal. Without the data it is difficult to be certain of the problem, but a couple of things might help:
- What happens if you run the Design Assistant on this signal with the original 4 wires? (You should make sure you run on selected signals only and for all configurations).
- Have you carefully checked the end points (including cavity) of the original 4 wires? Are they correct and identical to the end points after running CWS?
- It would be interesting to look at the harness levels assigned to the initial 4 wires - do they look correct? Do they change after running CWS?

Re: Add Special Characters to "Add Text"
On Windows you can also use the Character Map as a standalone tool. Just type "charmap" into the search box on the Start menu.

3D and 2d DRC reporting
Hello All,
We are playing with the 3D option and have a question.
1) Imagine you have a component hazard in 2D. You can accept it in the DRC window. Now you open a 3D view and do a 3D batch report: the previously accepted hazards show up again. Is there a way to accept 3D hazards, or is there an automatic way of propagating this kind of info from 2D into 3D?
2) Imagine you are working on a board and you have imported a second board as step for verification. When moving a component in 2D and you bump into a component of the additional board, in the 2D view there is no indication, in the 3D view the whole board lightens up to show an error, but you really don't know where exactly you have bumped. How do you set up the additional board to highlight you only the component it bumps into?
Thanks

VBS script running HyperLynx 9.4 DDR4 simulation from commandline
Hi guys,
I have to do many HyperLynx DDR4 simulations and I like to automate this process by VBS scripting.
I know HL9.4 supports startup scripts on the commandline "bsw.exe -run startup.vbs".
Unfortunately I could not find appropriate documentation showing some examples how to do the following:
ThThe startup.vbs should do the following:
- a. Load a .hyp file
- b. Load the stackup file (.stk)
- c. Load the component reference file (.ref)
- d. Load the .bud file
- e. load the .ddr file (Import)
- f. run SI-simulation
- g. if simulation is finished store simulation result data and leave HyperLynx
All the files to be loaded like .bud / .ref / .stk / .ddr already prepared and ready to use.
My question is: Are there methods in the programming visual Basic I/F doing the above procedure?
I like to get in conatct with somebody helping me to setup the script.
I'm familiar in programming but do not know the syntax and semantics of Mentor HL scipting.
I would appreciate if somebode can help me.
Thanks, Udo

Re: EE7.9.5 work on WIN10?
EE7.9.5 is not officially supported on Windows 10 by Mentor. Any VX version is supported on Win10.

Re: EE7.9.5 work on WIN10?
Correction...
Windows 10 is listed as a supported platform for vX.1.2 and later.
Windows 10 is not listed as a supported platform for vX.1 or vX.1.1.

Re: How to make a grouped BOM
Has this been answered or have you solved your problem in some other way? It would be nice to get the status updated.

Re: OFFSHEET SYMBOL: DEFAULT NAME WHEN ADDED
With the VX.2 version of the software you can control this using the new 'Compound' symbol capability. It does require you to edit the symbol in VX.2 and set the location of the 'name' in the alternate views (shown in the tabs). If you have the VX.1.2 StarterLibrary those symbols have already been updated to support this functionality (PADSVX.1.2\SDD_HOME\Libraries\xDX_Designer\SymbolLibrary\Builtin\sym\bi_flat.1 for example)

Re: OFFSHEET SYMBOL: DEFAULT NAME WHEN ADDED
Thanks Robert.
The bi_flat.1 is an ANNOTATE symbol, i have a PIN symbol (please check the picture in the first post). My problem is not on the XREF text position but in the name that appear near the symbol when i attached it to a net. This net name is automaticcaly placed over the symbol and i can't find how to edit this.
Thanks

Re: Why redundant wires generated in integrator design?
Hi Simon:
We got customer feedback for your 3 questions:
1: Run Design Assistant against the signal, no Error detected
2: Checked connectivity of the 4 wires, no mistakes, then run CWS, redundant wires generated but the connectivity are correct
3: Customer told after the initial operation of CWS, they had made some modification of harness levels and vehicle models

Re: Why redundant wires generated in integrator design?
Hi Denglong,
I'm rather surprised at the answers, particularly to question #1. The way synthesis works is that before it modifies a signal, it checks whether it is already routed. If it is fully routed then synthesis does nothing. According to the answer to question #1, the Design Assistant indicated the signal is fully routed. Therefore, I would strongly expect synthesis to do nothing with this signal.
Unfortunately, I think I've run out of ideas. At this point, we would need to look at the data to understand what is going on.

Hello Satoru,
I use this small code to Keep my efm on top (thanks for that). But can you explain what is there happen?
Create Excel COM Object is Understandable - also as "user32", "FindWindowA" and "SetWindowPos".
But why "JJJJJJJJ" ?
and what means the flag 3? is this the OnTop Flag?

Re: CHANGE MEG TO M IN DXDATABOOK
I just edited my solution to clarify the situation in the new release VX.2.

Re: CHANGE MEG TO M IN DXDATABOOK
Hi,
i ran into the same problem a few days ago and found a solution. Although it's more of a sloppy one it works!
Close your xDXDesigner and go to "...\MentorGraphics\PADSVX.1.2\SDD_HOME\common\win32\lib" and open the "dxdbdll.dll" with an editor. (better make a backup)
Find line 6794, column 150 and replace "MEG" with "M NUL NUL" and optional "K" with "k". In line 6794 column 234 replace "Mega (MEG)" with "Mega (M) NUL NUL" and "Kilo (K)" with "Kilo (k)".
You need to type those NUL down by yourself, by hitting ALT and typing 256 on the numpad. Don't leave any spaces! I just used them here to make it more readable.
FIND:
line 6794, column 150:
line 6794, column 234:
CHANGE TO:
line 6794, column 150:
line 6794, column 234:
I hope this helps! You obviously need to do this on every workstation you're using.
EDIT 09/09/2016: This still works with the new VX.2 release. Same file, but different line and column. Just use "Find" in your Editor of choice!
Greetings,
Fabian
