5 Define non-conservative nodes. Non-conservative nodes are used to change parameters.
They need the additional information whether the pin should be used as input, output, or
input and output. They are defined in the following form:
PORT data_type direction: Variable_name=Default_Value, for example:
PORT real in: LM=0.1, PORT real out: V1=VM.V,PORT real inout: VAL=0
6 To check the SML syntax click the Scan Text symbol in the toolbar. If errors occur, an message
box occurs on the screen.
7 Choose «Level Up» on the text editor shortcut menu (right.mouse click in the editor window)
to switch to the mainsheet. Double-click the subsheet symbol to open the subsheet
property dialog. In the «Output/Display» dialog all output quantities are listed. Select a
output format to display a quantity.
Creating Text Subsheets in VHDL-AMS
1 Choose SHEET>SUBSHEET>NEW VHDL-AMS. The mouse pointer becomes a cross wire.
2 Draw the subsheet symbol to the size desired by holding the left mouse
button and then release the mouse button. A rectangle for the macro is
displayed and the empty text editor is opened.
3 Enter the subsheet description in VHDL-AMS. You can define only one
model description in a subsheet.
4 Define model nodes. They are defined in the following form:
PORT (QUANTITY Name: Data_type:=Default_value; TERMINAL
Name : Nature_type), for example:
PORT (QUANTITY R : REAL: =1.0+3; TERMINAL p,m : ELECTRICAL)
5 To check the SML syntax click the Scan Text symbol in the toolbar. If errors occur, an message
box occurs on the screen.
6 Choose «Level Up» on the Text Editor’s shortcut menu (right mouse click in the editor
window) to switch to the mainsheet. Double-click the subsheet symbol to open the subsheet
property dialog. In the «Output/Display» dialog all output quantities are listed. Select
a output format to display a quantity.
3.5.3 Subsheets in the Model Agent
In a simulation model defined subsheets (text or graphical) can be added to model libraries
and so used in other sheets. You can insert subsheets from a model description or paste the
copied subsheet directly in a model library.
Copying and Duplicating Subsheets
You can copy subsheets (CTRL+C) and insert them in the same or another sheet (CTRL+V).
You can edit the subsheets after they are inserted.
In contrast, you can duplicate subsheets (EDIT>DUPLICATE or CTRL+D). All subsheets created
with duplicate will always have the same content, because any changes are updated in all
corresponding subsheets.
