Hello,
I want to create some layout only custom IP blocks(inductors/balun etc.,). I can draw their layout and modify them according to EM simulation results. During the modification time, I am simulating them in cadence using S parameter blocks. Once I am satisfied with the performance, I am making a simple spectre model out of it. So in the end, I have the following views for my custom block, layout, symbol and a text file defining the model.
Now, what I want to do is use my custom inductor in my design. When I draw a schematic, I instantiate the custom inductor there along with other components and make a cell out of it. Now, my question is how do I simulate my newly made cell which includes the custom inductor? Basically I have to somehow tell virtuoso how to netlist my custom block and which model to pick for my custom block.
I did post earlier a part of the problem here "https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/38/t/37704"
In this post, I am providing more context to what exactly I am doing and looking for suggestions which either can help me solve the earlier mentioned problem or can recommend me a workflow (schematic entry,lvs,pex), where I can use custom blocks.
